	Minimized Scalax IO branch by Josh Suereth :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message All, I've started making the minimized scalax I/O branch on github. This should only contain classes need to compile the I/O portions of scalax. This is the first step towards making a releasable I/O library. The branch is called "minimize". Also, I've set up with the latest SBT project definitions so we can cross-build the library against scala versions 2.7.2, 2.7.3, 2.7.4 and 2.7.5 simulataneously. Once I get approval, you'll see snapshots show up on scala-tools.org. - Josh
	Re: Minimized Scalax IO branch by Stepan Koltsov :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Why on github, not on bitbucket? scalax is stored in Mercurial. Actually, IO is only part of scalax I use, so this is great! And also, shouldn't scalax.io be renamed to something like org.scalatools.io or something. I don't like package name scala* for anything unofficial. S. On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 20:35, Josh Suereth<joshua.suereth@...> wrote: > > I've started making the minimized scalax I/O branch on github.

	Re: Minimized Scalax IO branch by Josh Suereth :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message We're actually trying to retain the ability to merge back into scalax when this project is "completed" or "matured". The main reason I pushed for github is the ghpages feature of github. It allows us to maintain a static website with documentation with no cost other than time. There's also rumors of github->scalatools.org integration in the future. Anyway, let us know if you'd like to help contribute! We see this as a very important task to the evolution of scala. - Josh On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Stepan Koltsov <yozh@...> wrote: Why on github, not on bitbucket? scalax is stored in Mercurial.

	Re: Minimized Scalax IO branch by Josh Suereth :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message All, I've started trying to document what scalax currently provides and I'd like to make notes of what would need to take place to migrate to scala 2.8.0. Here's the wiki page: http://wiki.github.com/eengbrec/Scalax.IO/fiile-api. I see the following being somewhat important: Updating the current scalax.io to work with the new collections API Updating scalax APIs to make use of named and default parameters. Anyone interested in helping define how the APIs should start looking? The combination of default-parameters + implicit parameters provides some very interesting API possibilities. - Josh On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 1:50 PM, Josh Suereth <joshua.suereth@...> wrote: We're actually trying to retain the ability to merge back into scalax when this project is "completed" or "matured".
