- AzzieElbab 10y agoDid you actually read that?
- godmodus 10y agoI did :p sort of reminds me of how haskell needs itself to Compile. Honestly, I don't see it as a problem.
- AzzieElbab 10y agoIt is way simpler than that. You can specify version of sbt's jar your project needs right in your build files. When you run any against your project it will download the version you specified if different from the one installed. It is not by any means a circular dependency.
- jjgreen 10y agoThat is the (build) circular dependency. OK if you are happy "downloading jars", but not if you are packaging for Debian: check the dates on this discussion https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=639910 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=639910 Gnu make does not need make to build (it includes a build shell script for that), gcc can be built using any C compiler via a 3-stage bootstrap. But sbt, it seems, can only be built by sbt.
