gradle reboot
Hi,
This is to let you know that I am currently working on overhauling and
upgrading the gradle package to the upcoming 8.11 release. This is
indeed quite challenging and I am not yet to the point where I could
share a repo and let others experiment and contribute, but I hope to get
there in a few days or maybe next week, I will then post an update with
a link.
My current plan is to make it at least a 2-stage build as there is no
point in trying to make its complicated buildscript work with the
currently packaged version 4.4.1. I don't know yet if the versions of
Groovy and Kotlin currently in Debian will work with these builds but I
will try. I am also factoring in the gradle-debian-helper in the build
of Gradle itself to use its logic to resolve artifact versions, even
though the plugin can no longer be used as is because it depends on a
core 'maven' plugin that disappeared with Gradle 7.
About myself, I haven't contributed much to the project yet but I am a
long time FLOSS advocate and Debian user, with some background in large
scale deployments, SRE and DevOps things. I didn't have much prior
experience with Gradle until the past few days, so I am learning while
doing it.
Regards,
