Comment(by nbruin):
I don't think that is true. I think maxima-5.20.1.p0 will build an
executable on ecl 10.4.1 and will silently fail to build maxima.fasl, just
as it does on ecl 10.2.1. Furthermore, I think maxima-5.20.1 on ecl 10.2.1
produces the same output as on 10.4.1 (given that the only changes between
.p0 and .p1 had to do with building a by default unused library)
The fact that doctests for maxima have to be adjusted is a good thing. A
bunch of those detect error conditions that are not errors in newer
versions of maxima.
But in general, you'd expect dependent packages to be - you know -
dependent :-).
