I didn't manage to read that page in this way, but OK. As long as at least someone understands it, it's good. > So it looks like we'll need a scala-2.10 package as long as SBT > is unable to run with Scala 2.11. How do we go about this? Is a new source package needed? I guess so. Hopefully it won't be hard, especially given that Scala 2.10.5 used to be available at one point: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/scala/2.10.5-1/ Let me know how to proceed and I'll start on packaging Scala 2.10.6, which SBT depends on.
