Note that they won't be downloaded again, because the component compiler
will look for a previously-compiled version of the compiler bridge
before trying to fetch the sources again. If they've already been
downlaoded, then they have been compiled and a compiled version of the
compiler bridge already exists.
In order to restore reproducibility of builds, we no longer cascade over
the possibly available versions of the compiler bridge sources (a
specific version of the bridge sources may not be available one day, but
exist on the next day), but rather let the build definition configure
which module to use.
Fixessbt/sbt#2196
Previously we used the version of the component manager. However, these
two versions do not need to be in sync, which would make us try to
retrieve the wrong version of the compiler interface sources.
Because in most cases there aren't version-specific sources, we expect
the retrieval to fail a number of times before succeeding. This
generates a lot of noise in sbt's log, so the logs will now be shown if
and only all the versions fail.
This commit introduces a mechanism that allows sbt to find the most
specific version of the compiler interface sources that exists using
Ivy.
For instance, when asked for a compiler interface for Scala 2.11.8-M2,
sbt will look for sources for:
- 2.11.8-M2 ;
- 2.11.8 ;
- 2.11 ;
- the default sources.
This commit also modifies the build definition by removing the
precompiled projects and configuring the compiler-interface project so
that it publishes its source artifacts in a Maven-friendly format.
