psopt.org is dead. It states:

‘This Domain Name Has Expired - Renewal Instructions’

Hello Maxime,

Thanks for your feedback. Indeed this has only happened recently, as I had been accessing it to learn it.

I am Cc:'ing the author and see if he knows anything about it.  I think also maybe the GitHub page would work:

https://github.com/PSOPT/psopt

Thanks,
Eric

Hello

Many thanks for your email.

Yes, I saw there is a problem with the website. Thank you for pointing it
out.

Upon investigation, I realized that the credit card I was using for
automated payments of the domain expired and I did not see the reminders in
time, so that the domain lapsed.

I will ask Google to see if they can reinstate it, as there appears to be
no easy way to do it myself. If that does not work I may have to get a new
domain.

As you correctly indicate PSOPT and its documentation can be accessed from
the GitHub page.

Best wishes,

Victor Becerra

(updated patch set attached)

Hello Prof. Becerra,

Thanks for your response!  I forgot to mention the context of this
message:  I am trying to get PSOPT (and ADOL-C, and ColPack) packaged
for GNU Guix.

Please note that I have updated:
* The homepage URL
* Added gnuplot (not required, but awfully nice :-)

Warm regards,
Eric Brown
