Re: Handle sbt dependencies

Most of the time using the most recent version of the library just
works. If it doesn't we patch the code.

Yes it's possible but we try to avoid that to reduce the maintenance
burden. Multiple versions are usually packaged when they are highly
incompatible and patching the code is too difficult or risky. Some
notable examples are junit and junit4, antlr 3.5 and antlr 3.2, log4j
1.2 and log4j 2.

We work around this kind of issue by using a different build system. For
example Maven was bootstrapped in Debian using Ant.

I don't think there is an up to date tutorial. Studying existing
packages is the best source of inspiration. And we'll be happy to guide
you on this list or on IRC.
