Greetings, First of all, I'm afraid I don't know anything about debian packaging, so please bear with me.
Raspberry Pi OS is just another debian distro, and it uses normal upstream debian sources and packages. Currently, the problem with maxima debian package is that it works flawlessly on some devices, but not on others (that use a 16K kernel pagesize), and I'd too like to fix this, because it prevents people to use maxima on recent devices. For such people (not technically savvy), recompiling is often not an option, and they give up using maxima. So: 1) Is it possible to make the debian package compatible with different pagesizes (currently 4096 and 16384) and, if yes, how to? 2) If not, where could we act (maxima source?) to make maxima support these different pagesizes? (Hopefully this is understandable: English is my third language, and I try to avoid AI to write my texts.)
