Can't install on Julia 1.11

[araujoms]

I get unsatisfiable requirements because of BinaryProvider:

(@v1.11) pkg> add SDPAFamily
   Resolving package versions...
ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package BinaryProvider [b99e7846]:

Also, in the meanwhile JuMP has added support for generic types, are there any plans to support them here?

If variant is set to sdpa, it uses SDPA_jll and is then equivalent to SDPA.jl. If you use another variant, then it's not part of any binary in Yggdrasil so it uses its own build script in https://github.com/ericphanson/SDPAFamily.jl/tree/master/deps
I believe this should be moved to Yggdrasil and incorporated into SDPA_jll or into a separate SDPAFamily_jll

[ericphanson]

when we tried (uh... 5 years ago), we could not get it to build with Yggdrasil. One issue IIRC was that Yggdrasil wanted to build libraries that were dynamically linkable with Julia, whereas we only wanted binary executables, and we had issues with the Fortran dependencies and dynamic linking (...I think).

We also use a fork of the original code in order to have it print the results in high precision, so we can parse the output files to pass the info back to Julia in high precision.

See https://github.com/ericphanson/SDPA_GMP_Builder

I agree it would be good to move it to Yggdrasil, but I don't have any bandwidth for that right now (or maybe ever, I really don't like working on c++ compilation issues). If someone does want to go for it, note ericphanson/SDPA_GMP_Builder#1.

Also, in the meanwhile JuMP has added support for generic types, are there any plans to support them here?

I have no plans, but I could probably help review PRs for it. I am also open to adding collaborators to this repo or transferring to an org if anyone wants to help maintain.

(I left academia in 2020 and am not doing mathematical optimization in my job so it is hard to find time for this).

[araujoms]

I'd be willing to add support for generic types from JuMP here, but I'm afraid my goodwill is only enough for Julia code. Somebody else would have to take care of Yggdrasil.

Have you submitted your patches upstream, though? That would certainly make things easier.
