We're onto Scala 2.9.0.1 now. The Ubuntu repo is even more behind.
For those who want to use the newer version anyway, please do so by
1. downloading it from http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads
(you need the Unix/Macos/Cygwin .tgz version).
2. unpack it in /opt, or somewhere else if you prefer. The command for this is
Code:
cd /opt
sudo tar zxvf scala-2.9.0.1.tgz
3. edit your $HOME/.bashrc by adding /opt/scala-2.9.0.1/bin to PATH
Code:
PATH=/opt/scala-2.9.0.1/bin:$PATH
You're likely to need SBT (http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/) too.
