Instead of chasing that goose, I believe it's better to run the specs on all supported versions of Scala. It's the only way we really know that all specs pass for a given version anyway. To run the specs with a given version (we still default to 2.8.1 for now), simply pass in the SCALA_VERSION env variable, e.g., % SCALA_VERSION=2.9.0 bundle exec rspec spec/scala I'll need to update our release scripts to run against 2.8.0, 2.8.1 and 2.9.0 later on. One point you might want to discuss is the default scala version in buildr. > Could it be upgraded to 2.9.0 or should we stick to 2.8.1 for now? > I've upgraded to 2.9.0-1 for now, though I expect to upgrade to 2.9.0-2 when it's released (within a week or so), after which I'll probably motion to release Buildr 1.4.6. Thanks for your help... you've motivated me to add sane default versions for Scala dependencies (ScalaCheck, ScalaTest and Specs) when using older Scala versions. aex
