Hi Emmanuel and everyone: Just a ping to move scala 2.12 forward, whenever someone has spare cycles.
Right now, the one item that blocks everything else is the scala 2.12.21 bump: https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/scala/-/merge_requests/2 It follows the shape you proposed: the 2.12 STARR jars are injected into src:scala as a build-time-only embedded seed, the build is two-pass (pass1 uses the seed, pass2 self-hosts and drops it), so nothing prebuilt ships ( after the first upload scala self-bootstraps from the archive) Would you be willing to sponsor it? Best, Juan PS: Next ones would be: - PLM Scala 2.12 port: https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/plm/-/merge_requests/4 In parallel: - jline3 3.29.0 (leaf, for 2.13; jline2/jline3 coexistence still open): https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/jline3/-/merge_requests/3
