 do you have any plane to backport scala 2.11.x to Jessie and Wheezy?
 at work we'd like to start using that newer version. I could attempt
 to prepare such bpo but I have no idea ho hard that would be, any
 input here?

Hi Sandro,

Backporting Scala to Jessie shouldn't be that difficult, it will require
two new packages scala-xml and scala-parser-combinators which aren't in
Jessie. The only trick is the recursive build dependency on scala
itself. You'll have to install the package manually in pbuilder to
satisfy the dependency.

I don't have the time to work on this now, so any help would be welcome.

Backporting to Wheezy should be doable too, you'll need another new
package (jline2).
