Hi Mehdi,

Scala 2.11.0 has been released two days ago [1]. I imported the new
upstream version yesterday and just pushed the updates I made in my
repository.

I think we should skip the 2.10.x series entirely and directly work on 2.11.x

There are some changes in 2.11.0 that impacts packaging:
 - scala swing, partest, scala-xml and parser combinators are not
part of scala anymore,
 - the msil backend has been dropped.

For the moment the scala-library package ships only official parts of
scala. Maybe we should make a scala-library-extra for these extra
packages (or package them independently).


I think we should focus on making 2.10.4 build fine first, before trying to do the same with 2.11.0. I've tried your patches (which look sane enough) but as I feared, it doesn't seem enough to make it build... because many
necessary things are downloaded from the internet during the build.

Remember that any Debian package should be buildable without a need to
network connectivity. So there is still some work to do. I haven't finished testing stuff yet, but from the looks of it, it looks like there is a whole new shit of libraries that needs packaging before beeing able to build Scala on Debian. So, unless 2.11.0 requires less new libraries in order to build, I think that we should put our effort on 2.10.4... which is still used by many.

Should I rename this ticket? File a new one?


There is #706633 already.

Regards,
