Thanks to a little prodding from Stefan I am glad to annouce that scala-2.9.0 has just been added to the tree without the delay that bogged the last release.
Thankful not much had changed between the 2.8 and 2.9 ebuilds so it was just a matter of fixing an annoying OutOfMemoryException during building. If you have less than 1.5GB RAM or if the build fails I suggest trying out the gentoo binary. Just see the binary use flag π
Nice to see scala 2.9.0 in gentoo, thanks for your work!
In my opinion its one of the most interessting programming languages available today.
It was a very positive surprise that the scala update was in Gentoo so fast this time (I got it as soon as it was in – only just found out who did it, though).
Thanks for making it happen! π
