Attached is a Portfile and accessory (files/scala2.11) to create a port
for the scala 2.11 series of releases, beginning with 2.11.0-RC3. This
port mostly conforms to the conventions of the scala 2.10 port and its
pre-release antecedents, with one major exception.
Scala 2.11 begins a modularization project which splits off several parts
of the main distribution into accessory jar files. These jar files are
included in the main distribution tarball, however they complicate the
classpath. In the Scala 2.10 Portfile, symlinks to the Scala distribution
jar files are placed in /opt/local/share/java. Because of the increased
complexity introduced by the modularity of the scala 2.11 distribution,
this Portfile discontinues this practice. Modularity of the Scala
distribution is an ongoing effort, and it's not unreasonable to assume
that future releases of Scala will have even more complex classpaths.
Given that this change in convention is made in a major release, there is
no impact to scala 2.10 installations. Scala 2.10 macports users which use
the scala library symlinks in /opt/local/share/java can find the scala jar
files in /opt/local/share/scala-2.11/lib instead.
