Dear all,
I have a few queries.
Is there a way we can go about updating gradle using some another
way? I have worked on major part of the update last summer but
seems we can't go any further without gradle enterprise plugin.
I am trying to update gradle to 6.4.1 and it doesn't build
kotlin-dsl plugin as of now. Gradle enterprise plugin (formerly
buildscan) is needed for it which is proprietary.
I am working on it here. current progress about enterprise plugin is under enterprise-test branch.
There have been already tons and tons of patches to remove other
parts which are missing in debian in a bid to atleast make core
gradle work. These patches along with all the changes in upstream
have made it almost impossible to upgrade Gradle in Debian. A
better approach is needed in my opinion. A gradle installer which
pulls latest gradle and installs it would be easiest way to go
about. But then it won't come under standard Debian repositories.
I created a upstream issue to discuss the enterprise plugin situation #16439
They mentioned that it is possible but didn't mention how yet.
I also created a upstream issue to discuss better ways of packaging Gradle. #16512
We can discuss this here on mailing list or IRC or salsa to find
a way to go forward with this.
Thank you.
