Long story short, after days banging my head on this issue, I don't think it's possible.I take that back, kotlin now builds with OpenJDK 17 and is on track to migrate to testing. This comes at a price though, besides my sanity I had the sacrifice the Android support (the Android dependencies still build with OpenJDK 8) and the -Xuse-javac option which hasn't been updated for OpenJDK 17 yet [1].That sounds awesome. Well done!
Great work there! I would still love to see openjdk-8 in bookworm. We're going to loose a bunch of Android things because doclava cannot run newer JDKs. Upstream still uses JDK8 to build it in the current Android code.
I think we have a clear case for the security team, since not only has upstream pledged support for the entire time window we need, but multiple distros as well.
The solution I think is to upgrade Gradle to the first version with the Kotlin DSL source code merged, which is Gradle 5.3. I leave that to someone else.Gradle 6.x works with the old Kotlin version and also builds gradle-kotlin-dsl just fine. Let me tie up the loose ends together next week and then let's see how it goes.
Thanks for keeping this moving, it is the best news I've heard in a while. I'm not sure how I can best support this effort, but please ping me if you need me to jump in anywhere.
