The scala tarball doesn't extract into a new subdirectory and instead just extracts into the directory where you run tar, i.e. a tarbomb. So in work/, you see a bin/ and a share/ directory.
Is there an easy, clean way to deal with this in MacPorts? I looked at specifying some extract options, but I didn't see anything. I tried passing the ${distname} to tar -C's option to create the subdirectory, but this doesn't work, since the directory to put it in doesn't exist yet.
You could create the subdirectory in pre-extract and then do the above. -- Daniel J.
