dev-lang/scala is out (version bump)

in CVS
Please explain, why there is no sbaz and other tools in package? I need sbaz to install scala-cldc or scala-android.
(In reply to comment #3) > Please explain, why there is no sbaz and other tools in package? I need sbaz to > install scala-cldc or scala-android. Because upstream doesn't include them in the source package. I'm giving up... will probably dump dev-lang/scala and continue scala-bin...
2.7.0-final was released today! http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/index.html
...and it was re-released again today. :)
If anyone contributes a working scala-bin ebuild with sbaz and everything what is to expect from upstream version, I'll offer a proxy maintenance. From-source seems unfeasible to me right now - no sbaz sources, and how would binary downloads from sbaz coexist with portage-installed version, if you can upgrade the whole scala itself through sbaz? I don't think we have a developer interested in scala himself enough to resolve all these issues.

From the above dup bug. Sorry for this bug spam. ------- Comment #1 From Anders Bach Nielsen 2009-01-08 15:29:06 0000 [reply] ------- The current version is 2.7.3_rc2 and I have created a simple ebuild for the binary package at http://dev.abachn.net/~abachn/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=abachn-portage;a=tree;f=/dev-lang/scala-bin
Ok so here http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/java-experimental/dev-lang/scala and here http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/browser/java-experimental/dev-java/sbaz 2 ebuilds that 1) Bump to the latest stable and 2) package sbaz. Things to note. scala/sbaz builds java 1.5 class code consistently across all its jars in these ebuilds, instead of the upstream method which is to have some parts as 1.4 and the compiled *.scala files at 1.5. Upstream documentation states that a 1.5 vm is required so I don't see this as an issue. The installed scala (in /usr/share/scala) is not a valid "managed directory" so you can't update it or install into it. Create your own managed dirs. ( a note to this effect will be added to the ebuild ). Once im happy that sbaz will not hose systems. I will add it to the tree. I would also like some feedback from actual users of this software.
In tree.
