Dear Scala Maintainers, I just realized that scala is not a pkg-java/Debian Java Team maintained package, and so the upload I just made to get scala to build against Java7 could very rightly be considered rude by the team. (It also means that I can't push the commits to the pkg-scala packaging repo.)
I did try to dcut it as soon as I realized that I couldn't push the packaging changes, but never really seem to have luck with that: > Log of processing your commands file /tony-1388122985.commands: > >> cancel scala_2.9.2+dfsg-2_amd64.changes > No upload found: scala_2.9.2+dfsg-2_amd64.changes > > Greetings, > > Your Debian queue daemon (running on host franck.debian.org) So, first, my apologies for not coordinating this change with you. It was an honest mistake. (Although it is embarrassing - I saw "Debian Scala Maintainers" and somehow thought "Debian Java Maintainers.") I was merely trying to chip away at the RC Java bugs, came across #720569 and got eager when I found that the java7 branch upstream could be used to create a patch. I am still a little confused that lintian didn't warn me that I was essentially performing an NMU; I'll have to look into why that is. I definitely was *not* trying to hijack the package, and if I had realized that it wasn't a Java Team package, I would have simply sent a patch to the BTS and not made the other minor packaging changes that you'll see in this upload. I can format-patch the changes to you if you'd like, but there's nothing very complicated going on. My apologies if this disrupts any packaging work that was already in progress. Sincerely, tony (tmancill)
