I have just uploaded latest upstream version of pilon to unstable, together
with a fix for the scala issues showing up. Normally we would have had to
update scala from 2.11 to 2.13, but here the fix was very short to write.
Thanks a lot!
Sorry, I mixed up the changelog entries a bit because I forgot to pull from
Salsa before working on the package, but now on Salsa everything is right.
:-)
Anyway, for sure the
right thing would be to upgrade Scala.
Yep. We need this anyway.
Right!
This email is the opportunity to ask you a question: I saw you were the
initial sponsor of sbt, the Scala Build Tool. The source package was
accepted with a lot of embedded jars inside. Do you remember if you had some
discussion with FTP Masters about it before they accepted the package?
Arguably this is costly to avoid in such a setting, where we need Scala
dependencies to build a tool that builds Scala programs...
I vaguely remember that the bootstrapping process required some
discussion with ftpmaster but I forgot the details. Since the discussion
was long ago I think it needs to be taken up again if needed.
