            Bug ID: 48859
           Summary: system wide software request: sbt
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Infrastructure
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

sbt (http://www.scala-sbt.org/) is a build tool for Java and Scala software
similar to Maven, and it is the de-facto standard build tool for Scala. Though
it could run in userspace, it is usual mode of installation is a system wide
deployment. It is not available through the Debian or Ubuntu repositories, but
is available as a .deb package. The now current version is found at
http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt//0.12.3/sbt.deb
and generally the most current version is linked from
http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Setup.html (it is a
fairly fast moving target). I would like to have this software available on
labs.

Because I hope but don't expect many people, if any people, other than me will
be using this tool, and because there is no absolute need (merely a fairly
large convenience) to have it installed system-wide (or even at all, though it
is a great convenience to be able to use its dependency management which is an
utter pain to do manually), i'm setting severity here to enhancement, and offer
myself to assist with packaging and updating for as far that is desirable and
I'm able to do so.
