So if sbt should also be re-compiled to make the combination scala_2.10+sbt_0.13 work it might as well be worth using newer versions as Emmanuel suggested. I think I'll stop my investigations for now. Thank you, Antonio -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Hi Antonio, Le 03/01/2019 à 10:59, Antonio Ospite a écrit : > Are there any plans to improve the situation? We lack contributors to maintain the Scala ecosystem in Debian and some help would be really welcome. I spent some time updating our scala package but I'm not a Scala developer and I don't have the time to look into this anymore. If someone wants to pick the ball the next steps are to: 1. build SBT 1.0 without the embedded libraries 2. build Scala 2.12 Emmanuel Bourg

So this bug report could be closed IMHO, and a new one about using a new upstream version may be opened. Anyways from the little I've seen, for sbt to be really usable with the majority of projects, the combination of sbt and scala versions also matters. For instance, some downloadable packages are not available for the combination sbt_0.13 and scala_2.11 which is what we have in debian. The most supported combinations seem to be: - sbt_0.13 + scala_2.10 - sbt_1.0 + scala_2.12 An example of this can be seen by trying to locally build sbt itself, or scala[1], or the kaitai compiler mentioned below.

Hi David, Thank you for the bug report. We're working on one last package in the dependency change, scala-tools-sbinary, and then we can start the migration from experimental to unstable.
