Comment(by nbruin):
I checked and between maxima 5.19 and maxima 5.20 none of the "lisp" files
have changed in src/src, so it seems very unlikely that the change in
location of maxima.fasb is due to the maxima upgrade.
On the other hand, between ECL 9 and ECL 10, there seems to be a lot of
activity in the ASDF module, which is responsible for the building:
http://ecls.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ecls/ecl/src/CHANGELOG?view=markup
so I can easily believe that the cause is here.
In particular, they are advertising a new option ":move-here" which allows
the destination to be specified. I tried this with the presently packaged
ECL 10.2.1 without luck, so perhaps upgrading ECL would be a good idea
(and then hope they don't touch ASDF for a while).
On the plus side: The "fasb" file type is always recognised by ECL 10.4.2,
so the ugly (and risky?) renaming should not be necessary anymore.
If after upgrading you still can't manage getting maxima.fasb in a sane
location, perhaps drop Juanjo a line.
