#43124: New port: scala2.11 -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: msa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: scala2.11 | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by blair@…): At least in Scala 2.11.x, it looks like the jars may change names for each minor version, so if MacPorts provides a stable path to a jar that can be used in scripts, then that's a good thing. I've needed the symlinks for build systems that are not ant, mvn or sbt so it's nice to have a short path that doesn't have to dive into the layout that the Scala tarball explodes into. I don't think it's that hard to keep the Portfile to maintain the symlinks, maybe the for loop is changed to be a loop of strings of the form "akka-actor_2.11.0-RC3-2.3.0.jar:akka-actor_2.11.jar" that is split on : to generate the name for $prefix/share/java. Let me know your thoughts. Blair -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43124#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
