| subject | [contrib #408] Tarballs don't extract into a subdirectory | |||
| code | ||||
| what happened | The distribution tarballs don't extract into a scala-X.Y.Z directory, which can dump stuff into your current working directory. Say you're in $HOME and you have your own personal bin/ directory, then the bin from scala will dump files in there, which you'll have to clean up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(file_format)#Tarbombs |
|||
| what expected | That the tarball extracts into a newly created scala-X.Y.Z directory. | |||

| contribution #408. We have discussed this and IIRC the prevailing opinion is that we should have a proper tarball. At least I'll appreciate it. |
