Can and should I use sbt and sbt-native-packager for non Java or Scala specific packaging of an RPM?

Question

Like I could using Ant?

I don't have to compile sources or create jars to make the RPM.

If this is a good approach?

How to I use sbt without language specific features?

Answer 1

"Convention over configuration" is speaking:

You could, but that would require reconfiguring lots of tasks and settings to meet your requirements and would likely not offer much benefit.
