#43124: New port: scala 2.11 ------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: msa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------+-------------------------------- Attached is a Portfile and accessory (files/scala2.11) to create a port for the scala 2.11 series of releases, beginning with 2.11.0-RC3. This port mostly conforms to the conventions of the scala 2.10 port and its pre-release antecedents, with one major exception. Scala 2.11 begins a modularization project which splits off several parts of the main distribution into accessory jar files. These jar files are included in the main distribution tarball, however they complicate the classpath. In the Scala 2.10 Portfile, symlinks to the Scala distribution jar files are placed in /opt/local/share/java. Because of the increased complexity introduced by the modularity of the scala 2.11 distribution, this Portfile discontinues this practice. Modularity of the Scala distribution is an ongoing effort, and it's not unreasonable to assume that future releases of Scala will have even more complex classpaths. Given that this change in convention is made in a major release, there is no impact to scala 2.10 installations. Scala 2.10 macports users which use the scala library symlinks in /opt/local/share/java can find the scala jar files in /opt/local/share/scala-2.11/lib instead. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43124> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
