Package: maxima
Version: 5.47.0-7
Severity: wishlist
Dear Camm Maguire,
thank you for maintaining this package.
I noticed that upgrading from version 5.47.0-5 to this version the size
of the binary `/usr/lib/maxima/5.47.0/binary-gcl/maxima` increased by
about 70 MB. Any idea why?
Best Regards,
Jörg.

Greetings, and thanks for your report! I think I shaved off 10M with
the last upload. There is little more I can do as the GCL binary is
larger, mostly because memory has to be reserved beneath 2Gb on modern
systems for gcc's medium memory model to produce loadable code. I'll
look at optimizing this further as time goes on, but closing this for
now.
Take care,
