This is the Debian GNU/Linux quantlib-refman 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 just one gzip'ed pdf file, I manually created the .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 license, also known as X-Consortium or MIT or modified-BSD style license.
