Bug#639910: Any news on : building sbt with make for bootstraping

Though, for sbt-bootstrap, we would need a self contained sbt (no internet download), right ? You can build sbt using a pre-built sbt, like what is done, for example, for gcc, scala, etc... IMHO, it is not justified for sbt but ymmv. You can try to get in touch with Debian's Java team (which maintains Scala) to get some help on this topic. HTH, -- Mehdi Dogguy
Bug#639910: Any news on : building sbt with make for bootstraping
Hi, I'd be interested in packaging sbt in debian, and I saw the debian bug #639910 [1] and this simple-build-t...@googlegroups.com thread [2] . I guess there's not much progress, but I'm asking in case someone is active on that. Here is a summary of what I understood so far : a) to build sbt, you need sbt b) sbt [may] downloads components online when being used c) sbt upstream does not provide nor will support alternate build process (make, ant, whatever) d) it seems difficult to provide a standalone tarball of a given version of sbt (David M. Lee) Is each point [still] correct ? I saw the proposition of Mehdi to ask the sbt upstream to propose a source tarball of sbt and include a standalone version of sbt, but I didn't see any answer (except if d) was one) Also I wanted to ask Mehdi, if there wasn't another way by putting sbt in nonfree. Or maybe have a sbt-bootstrap in nonfree, and a sbt in main that would be built from nonfree. Though, for sbt-bootstrap, we would need a self contained sbt (no internet download), right ? Any help will be welcome, Thanks and sorry for unburying such a hateful topic :) F. 1: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=639910 2: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/simple-build-tool/bFaUvjn_j60
