Qing, For 1, why would it be a blocker, given that there were previous releases? Has there been compatibility issues for scala packages? If so, why did we release? There are many maven packages that include binary already, so if we can find the binary for all dependency it's probably best to link to them, and let maven manage these dependencies.
For 2, since the current CI is based on Jenkins, I imagine it would be some sort of Jenkins pipeline? Other people who're better versed in Jenkins can chime in. Personally, I'm interested in 3 as well. I have a pipeline for building pip packages that's currently not utilizing the CI, and the item 3 is the blocker too. Once you finish, it would be great to refer to the same solution, so that I can move it into the same CI. -sz On Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 4:37 PM, Qing Lan <lanking...@live.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Recently contributors on Scala Language development worked together and > finally able to publish Scala package on Maven.
