Bug 690344 – dev-lang/scala-2.13.8 version bump

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuel Bernardo 2019-07-21 11:03:38 UTC]

https://www.scala-lang.org/news/2.13.0

Scala 2.13.0 is available since 11 June 2019.

Arch have it available already:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/scala/

I also realize that in 2.12 it misses some minor releases since the latest one is 2.12.8.
Do you need help to maintain scala ebuild?

Cheers

Is anybody out there for scala update?

I want an update.

dev-lang/scala uses dev-java/sbt to build it. During the src_compile in dev-java/sbt, sbt forks a second process and hangs (bug #632532). I expect this same problem will occur when trying to use sbt to build any ebuild, including dev-lang/scala.

I'm working on ebuild scala-2.13.1 following the instructions left by gentoo java team.
I'm testing the build from source and removed use flag binary, since it was there as an alternative for bypassing compilation memory requirement.

This is the only step I need to finish:
# 4. tar up all the .ivy2 and .sbt junk into ${P}-ivy2-deps.tar.xz and                                                                                                        
# ${P}-sbt-deps.tar.xz and add them to SRC_URI:                                                                                                                               
# XZ_OPT=-9 tar --owner=portage --group=portage \                                                                                                                             
# -cJf /usr/portage/distfiles/${P}-ivy2-deps.tar.xz .ivy2/cache                                                                                                               
# XZ_OPT=-9 tar --owner=portage --group=portage \                                                                                                                             
# -cJf /usr/portage/distfiles/${P}-sbt-deps.tar.xz .sbt

When I complete it with success I will left here new comment.
