cross publish for scala 2.9.2

[softprops]

could you do this?

[tristanjuricek]

Do you have a requirement to just use the binaries, or could your project leverage sbt's ability to pull and automatically build from github source?

This article worked for me:

http://www.devdaily.com/scala/using-github-projects-scala-library-dependencies-sbt-sbteclipse

The old publishing site was taken down earlier this year, and I haven't quite heard much so I'm assuming that most people are using sbt and not really worrying about it.

Let me know if this doesn't work for you or if you'd like an example app. It was pretty easy for me to just follow the article's instruction and get it to work with 2.9.2...

I could definitely use a source dependency for local development but I want to use it as a dependency of a library I intend to publish. I don't think I can do that with it being an unmanaged dependency.

@softprops, here's how I currently skirt the issue (I piggy back on binary compatibility), ie:

lazy val markdown = Project(
    "lmxml-markdown",
    file("markdown"),
    settings = generalSettings ++ scalaTest ++ Seq(
      libraryDependencies <+= (scalaVersion) {
        case v if v startsWith "2.9" =>
         "com.tristanhunt" % "knockoff_2.9.1" % "0.8.0-16"
        case "2.8.2" =>
         "com.tristanhunt" % "knockoff_2.8.1" % "0.8.0-16"
        case _ =>
         "com.tristanhunt" %% "knockoff" % "0.8.0-16"
      }
    )
  ) dependsOn core

When Scala 2.10 becomes final, I hope @tristanjuricek considers publishing his library for that :)

[softprops]

thanks @philcali !

[tristanjuricek]

OK, I'm going to check out publishing everything through Sonatype, that should be reliable.

[softprops]

Thanks @tristanjuricek the oss sonatype repo gets mirrored to maven central which is an sbt default resolver. Having artifacts published there does a good service to everyone in the community because its one less resolver for users to think about. Thanks!

[tristanjuricek]

OK, I think the latest version (0.8.0-16) should be up on maven central for generally painless usage.

Thanks for your interest!

[tristanjuricek]

I'll note that I've only set it up for the 2.9.x versions of Scala: I could add 2.8.x if there's interest.

[softprops]

2.8.2 maybe, though that version will start to wane even more when 2.10 is finally available.

+1 ^

I'm more concerned about 2.10
