Package: maxima-emacs
Version: 5.44.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When upgrading from 5.43 to 5.44 maxima-emacs started using 'cl-lib'
instead of plain 'cl'. There are good reasons for that, 'cl' defines
functions in global namespace while 'cl-lib' has them prefixed by cl-
The problem is that this change breaks maxima-emacs with XEmacs, which
does not provide 'cl-lib'
Compiling /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/maxima/imaxima.el...
While compiling toplevel forms in file
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/maxima/imaxima.el:
!! File error (("Cannot open load file" "cl-lib"))
>>Error occurred processing imaxima.el: Cannot open load file: cl-lib
So, either maxima-emacs drops XEmacs support or is patched to regain
old behavior, like in attached patch. I cannot assure that this has no
side effects.
