This is the Debian GNU/Linux quantlib-refman-html package of the
reference manual for the QuantLib quantitative finance
library. QuantLib is being written by the QuantLib group headed by
Ferdinando Ametrano (ferdinando@ametrano.net) as main upstream
coordinator (see Authors.txt).
This package was put together by Dirk Eddelbuettel from
the original sources at
http://quantlib.org
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12740
As the upstream version of the manual is distributed as a tarball of
the html and png files, I re-created the Debian-style .tar.gz around
it in order to fit this into the Debian system of upstream source
distribution (which requires a tarball against which a diff can be
built). The only other change for the Debian package was the addition
of the debian/ files; also see the file changelog.Debian.
The QuantLib library is released under a XFree86-style / BSD / MIT license:
