What is the complete sbt command to build scala 2.12.16 distributable binary for *Nix system (macOS & Linux)?
Scala 2.12.16 source zip : https://github.com/scala/scala/archive/refs/tags/v2.12.16.zip
PS: sbt publishLocal builds scala compiler of latest stable version and then publishes to local ivy2 repo. So it is not helpful for me.
Thanks Seth Tisue for providing git repo information.
git repo for building scala distributable binary https://github.com/scala/scala-dist.git
