Hi Debian maintainers!
I'm a casual user
of the current testing version of the Debian distribution and I've run
into a slight problem. I'm trying to use gradle as a build system but
the version offered from the apt package manager doesn't work with
openjdk version 11. I was on buster and switched to testing thinking
that the gradle package found on there would be new enough that it would
be compatible with openjdk 11, but it is unfortunately not. I then
considered adding an alternative openjdk that could be compatible, but
openjdk 11 is the lowest version offered if I'm not mistaken. Right now I
don't want to download gradle and set it up from their website since it
is recommended to rely on the package manager as much as possible.
Therefore, this might seem like a weird request, because I really don't
know anything about rolling out newer versions of packages on for
package managers, but I was wondering something could be done to add a
newer version of gradle? If it is not possible at this time I understand
I'll just proceed with downloading it from online and I give my thanks
anyways.
Thanks,
John
