Bug#639910: Any news on : building sbt with make for bootstraping
Hi,
I'd be interested in packaging sbt in debian, and I saw the debian bug #639910 [1]
and this simple-build-tool@googlegroups.com thread [2] .
I guess there's not much progress, but I'm asking in case someone is active on
that.
Here is a summary of what I understood so far :
a) to build sbt, you need sbt
b) sbt [may] downloads components online when being used
c) sbt upstream does not provide nor will support alternate build process (make,
ant, whatever)
d) it seems difficult to provide a standalone tarball of a given version of sbt
(David M. Lee)
Is each point [still] correct ?
I saw the proposition of Mehdi to ask the sbt upstream to propose a source
tarball of sbt and include a standalone version of sbt, but I didn't see any
answer (except if d) was one)
Also I wanted to ask Mehdi, if there wasn't another way by putting sbt in
nonfree. Or maybe have a sbt-bootstrap in nonfree, and a sbt in main that would
be built from nonfree. Though, for sbt-bootstrap, we would need a self contained
sbt (no internet download), right ?
Any help will be welcome,
Thanks and sorry for unburying such a hateful topic :)
