= Proposed Self Contained Change: Improved Scala Ecosystem Support = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImprovedScalaEcosystem Change owner(s): William Benton <willb@xxxxxxxxxx> Fedora now supports several essential parts of the Scala language ecosystem as well as building packages with sbt, the de facto build tool for the Scala community. == Detailed Description == Fedora has had a Scala package for some time, but the larger Scala ecosystem has been absent from Fedora. In fact, until very recently, Fedora included no packages that depended on Scala. The main obstacle to getting Scala ecosystem projects packaged for Fedora was the difficulty in packaging sbt, the Simple Build Tool, which many Scala projects use for build, dependency, and release management. Fedora 21 now includes sbt as well as several interesting and foundational Scala ecosystem projects, most notably: * akka, a toolkit for developing actor-based systems; * json4s, a unified interface to JSON parsers and generators; * sbinary, a typed Scala interface for reading and writing binary formats; * sbt, the simple build tool for Scala and Java projects; * scala-stm, a software transactional memory implementation for Scala; * scalacheck, a property-based testing framework for Scala; and * scalaz, a set of extensions to the Scala standard library to facilitate functional programming. == Scope == * Proposal owners: The change is complete as described; other ecosystem packages and additional Fedora-specific developer documentation will continue to become available. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
