Re: [Gcl-devel] gcl 2.5 bug report

[Camm Maguire]

Hi Tim!  The behavior you describe is CLTL1.  CLTL2 and ansi say you
have to make-package first.  As this change did not break our existing
'customers' maxima and acl2, we just incorporated it into the base
image.  If it is a problem for you, I could escape the updated
behavior to only kick in when configuring the ansi image.  Shouldn't be
too tough to add a make-package, no?

Take care,
