So, why Fedora doesn't provide Scala 2.12? Did you bother reading the URL that Sam posted? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080923 You'll see why it's not in there. In a nutshell, Scala 2.11 and later are not binary-compatible with 2.10 so all the packages that depend on Scala will break. The maintainer of Scala has no control over those other packages. At least that's how I read it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If at first you don't succeed, quit.
