Option variable
packagefile
Default value: false
Package designers who use save
or translate
to create packages (files) for others
to use may want to set packagefile: true
to prevent information
from being added to Maxima's information-lists (e.g. values
,
functions
) except where necessary when the file is loaded in.
In this way, the contents of the package will not get in the
user's way when he adds his own data. Note that this will not
solve the problem of possible name conflicts. Also note that
the flag simply affects what is output to the package file.
Setting the flag to true
is also useful for creating Maxima
init files.
