Package: scala Version: 2.8.1.dfsg-1 Severity: normal Different versions of Scala are binary-incompatible with each other, when the minor version number changes. (So Scala 2.8.0 is compatible with Scala 2.8.1, and Scala 2.9.0 is compatible with Scala 2.9.0.1, but Scala 2.9.x is incompatible with Scala 2.8.x).
Please package scala with a version number in the package name, so that different versions of scala can be installed simultaneously, and to avoid dependency conflicts (like how python and ruby have version numbers in their package names). Please also add a version number to the name of the jar file (i.e. scala-2.8.jar, scala-2.9.jar) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages scala depends on: ii default-jre [java6-runtime] 1:1.6-40 Standard Java or Java compatible R ii libjline-java 0.9.94-6 Java library for handling console ii openjdk-6-jre [java6-runtim 6b18-1.8.7-5 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspo ii scala-library 2.8.1.dfsg-1 The Scala standard library ii sun-java6-jre [java6-runtim 6.26-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment ( scala recommends no packages. scala suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
