Scala has been orphaned. I don't do anything with scala personally, but I would like to see jacop stay in Fedora. So I've been poking around to see how hard it would be to rescue scala, as well as move it up to a more recent version. The results of my poking around can be seen here:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/scala/ The bootstrap build of scala 2.13.4 uses upstream's JARs, but then the second build is done entirely from source with Fedora (and COPR) RPMs. Stuff to do before this can really be built in Fedora: - Figure out if jansi 2.0.1 is backwards compatible with jansi 1.18. If it is not, then we'll have to figure out how to make parallel installable versions of jansi 1.18 and 2.0.1, or else port everything currently using 1.18 to 2.0.1. - Figure out if I built jansi 2.0.1 correctly. There is a shared object inside of the JAR, which I think is not correct. - Figure out if any scala tests can be run and, if so, how. If no tests can be run, then we can omit java-diff-utils and jol, which are only used for the tests. So far as I can tell, the only scala applications currently in Fedora are jacop and scalacheck, and scalacheck has also been orphaned, so I'm not worried about breaking anything with such a big jump in scala versions. If anybody else is interested in scala, please speak up and we can figure out how to meet your goals, too. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
