• Bug#1066086: maxima-emacs: maxima-emacs again not installable with xema

    From Agustin Martin@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 12 13:00:01 2024
    Package: maxima-emacs,xemacs21
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainers,

    Seems that

    [#969410] maxima-emacs: maxima-emacs 5.44 does not work with XEmacs
    [#999626] maxima-emacs: fails to install with xemacs21

    are back, since mmm-mode-el dropped xemacs21 support and no longer
    provides cl-lib.

    I am including xemacs1 package in case maintainer wants to add something.

    I see some possible approaches,

    1) Drop xemacs21 support from maxima-emacs. I proposed a patch in #999626,
    should need more test and should probably be updated.
    2) Create something like a xemacs21-compat-el package containing cl-lib and
    may be other compatibility stuff.
    3) Include cl-lib somewhere in Debian xemacs21 package as a Debian feature.
    4) Include cl-lib in maxima-emacs for local use.

    Opinions?

    Regards,
