I have cloned your repo and started playing around. AFAIK, your build
script requires jars built from earlier version of Scala (akka-actor.jar

will have to figure it out before moving to Scala 2.12.0-M1.

Yes I used 2.11.12 as the build tool to build 2.12.0-M1. This is the way
the Scala team has asked it be done, to do it properly.
The script was initially created in Ubuntu, so I downloaed 2.11.12 and
installed it manually into a separate directory, then set the PATH to
point to that. There is a lot of hardcoding of paths and files in the
script.
I am currently working on making the script work in debian unstable,
using system installed packages for jdk, scala 2.11.12, ant, jline etc.
I will probably have something workign by the end of the evening.
However, this strategy is for the time being tedious due to sbt not
migrating to testing. Otherwise it would sound really tempting.
I agree.
