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~%") ----------- -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-4-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages maxima depends on: ii gnuplot-x11 4.2.6-1 A command-line driven interactive ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgmp3c2 2:4.3.2+dfsg-1 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-2 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages maxima recommends: ii gv 1:3.6.8-1 PostScript and PDF viewer for X ii maxima-emacs 5.20.1-5 A computer algebra system -- emacs ii maxima-share 5.20.1-5 A computer algebra system -- extra Versions of packages maxima suggests: pn maxima-doc <none> (no description available) pn texmacs <none> (no description available) ii tk8.4 [wish] 8.4.19-4 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.4 - ii tk8.5 [wish] 8.5.8-1 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.5 - -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
