Scala Code Management and Bug Reporting

We strive to make the Scala software always better, and to iron out all defects and bugs that might show up from time to time. In order to track bug reports and patch submissions, we make use of the following tools:

• The Scala Trac
  This is quite simply the resource to keep track of Scala issues and bugs, and their resolution. The system is based on the very popular Trac software, and all of us Scala developers make continuous use of it. The Trac website also implements our online SVN repository browser, and a few webpages related to Scala bug tracking. Everyone is welcome to open an account on our Trac system, and contribute to the improvement of the Scala software by filing tickets. If already have an account on scala-lang.org and would like to create a trac account, we suggest you to use the same username and email address on both, as the account systems of the two websites might be integrated in the future.

   

• The Review Board
  If a core developer is proposing a patch that does more than just fixing a bug, for instance if the patch changes a library functionality, or adds a new compiler option, or does anything else that may impact on compatibility, the new code is first submitted to our Scala Review Board for approval. This resource is only used by the Core Team, but is usually accessible read-only to the public. Link is currently disabled, as the system is being reconfigured.
