Subject: scala: Different versions of Scala are binary-incompatible
Message-ID: <20110626160832.9597.5506.reportbug@localhost.localdomain>
X-Mailer: reportbug 5.1.1

Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: scala
Version: 2.8.1.dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Different versions of Scala are binary-incompatible with each other,
when the minor version number changes. (So Scala 2.8.0 is compatible
with Scala 2.8.1, and Scala 2.9.0 is compatible with Scala 2.9.0.1,
but Scala 2.9.x is incompatible with Scala 2.8.x).

Please package scala with a version number in the package name, so
that different versions of scala can be installed simultaneously, and
to avoid dependency conflicts (like how python and ruby have version
numbers in their package names). Please also add a version number to
the name of the jar file (i.e. scala-2.8.jar, scala-2.9.jar)
