Re: Scala package owner unresponsive
I see that scala is on the to-be-retired list unless it starts building from source. I am
interested in using Scala in Fedora, and will take on maintainership (for a while, at
least) if no one else is willing to fix it.

Yes, the reason fot this is very simple. On F18 we had a jdk-1.6.0
environment in
addition to the jdk-1.7.0. Scala was built explicitly agains jdk-1.6.0
because jdk-1.7.0
is not supported on this release.
Fedora 19 and late doesn't provides a jdk-1.6.0 environment which is the
reason
for the broken dependency. So it's impossible to build scala-2.9.x for F19 or
later releases for Fedora.
