Scala is a functional object-oriented programming language compiling to JVM byte code. This is a binary repackaging of the distribution from the Scala home-page. It sets SCALA_HOME=/usr/lib/scala, MANPATH to include /usr/lib/scala/man, and PATH to include /usr/lib/scala/bin. The installation is like Java Runtime/SDK, in that it places everything by default in /usr/lib/scala - including manpages and documentation. The lib directory is set dependent upon the package architecture: /usr/lib on x86 and /usr/lib64 on x86_64.
