Package: maxima
Version: 5.20.1-5
Severity: normal

Hello Camm,

I am packaging a Scilab module called scimax. It allows the usage of Maxima
from Scilab.

However, to provide this link, scimax needs to build some lisp code.
The problem I am facing is that this is cannot be done at the construction
of the package since it is specific to the version of Maxima (ie, if I upgrate
maxima, scimax stops working).
The command is the following and the content of the file make.lisp is available
at the end of this bug report:
maxima -q --batch-string ":lisp (load \"make.lisp\")"


I would like to know if you could install a dpkg trigger (like python-support) 
into Maxima to allow scimax to rebuilt itself when maxima is upgraded ?

Thanks,
Sylvestre

PS:
make.lisp:
-----------
($load "linearalgebra")
(handler-case
 (progn 
   (compile-file "scimax.lisp")
   (compile-file "scimath.lisp"))
 (error () (progn
             (format t "ERROR~%")
             ($quit))))
(format t "T~%")
-----------
