Better Living Through sbt
summary
An organizational sbt setup that standardizes settings and automates releases so dozens of small repositories behave like one coherent system. Uses a Banno sbt plugin that bundles assembly/revolver/release, centralizes versions in a versions file, and publishes to Nexus; CI runs publish/test/clean and bumps semantic versions. Dependency management uses named dependency sets and binary snapshots to cut compile time, and local development wires repos via symlink-to-project-ref so cross-project changes build and test without repeated publish_local. Works reliably at 50–60 developers.
