GSoC Weekly report of Saif Abdul Cassim for week 1.

[Saif Abdul Cassim <saif.15@cse.mrt.ac.lk>]

Hi,

My project is packaging kotlin 1.3.30 into Debian sid. I have broken the project into 3 phases.

   -Translate necessary build files to groovy from kotlin dsl

   -Downgrade gradle version to gradle 4.4.1 from 5.1

   -Package the needed dependencies into debian and then make kotlin build from source.

In the first week I converted about 15 build files to groovy from kotlin dsl.

https://salsa.debian.org/m36-guest/kotlin-1.3.30/commits/master

Once this phase is done I move on to downgrading the project build files to gradle 4.4.1.

I also maintain a blog here which I plan on updating each week with major updates that week.

Cheers,

Saif Abdul Cassim.
