[Markus Brummer (brummer)]

A newer release should be ported to intrepid and backported to hardy. Scala is an emerging programming language, already considered to be the first language to be teached to first year students. Also scala doesn't run properly on hardy when I installed the scala package. Java 1.6 is installed and compiles properly.

Latest Scala release is 2.7.1, latest in debian unstable is 2.6.1.

I would definitely be interested in seeing new Scala release becoming available for Ubuntu/Debian more quickly. Is there anything we can do to help out?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Intrepid already has 2.6.1-1lex.
