Folks,
A quick update on Lift 2.0 build on Scala 2.8.
Scala 2.8 port of Lift is available on the branch 280_port_refresh. This
is a 'refresh'ed version of 280_port which is fully aligned and sync'ed
with the master.
To ensure minimal delta between the master and 280_port_refresh, the
codebase in master has been adjusted considerably to improve Scala 2.8
compatibility. Thus, the master branch continues to be on Scala 2.7.7
but is lot more Scala 2.8 friendly now. In fact, most of the modules
(and all the examples) build cleanly on both 2.7 and 2.8 without any change.
Few additional points:
1. Those interested in playing with this branch can checkout from the
280_port_refresh and build locally.
2. A Hudson job for lift_280_refresh has been setup at
http://hudson.scala-tools.org/view/Lift/job/lift-scala280/. For now, it
just does internal build. In course of the week, Hudson would be setup
to deploy the snapshots as well.
3. Scala 2.8 is binary incompatible with Scala 2.7. This means the
additional scala libraries on which Lift depends also need to provide a
Scala 2.8 build. Hopefully, there would be scalajpa and
scalamodules-core build available in near term. For now, modules
specifically dependent on them have been disabled.
4. Parts of the code which don't work on Scala 2.8 (broken, incompatible
etc.) have been marked with FIXME: 280.
Cheers, Indrajit
