Hii,
This report points to work done in Week 12 [Aug 17 - Aug 23].
It is the last weekly report before the final submissions. This week was quite restless.
What happened since last week?
>> I was finally able to work out the issue on the circular dependency for Android25ProjectHandler which was due to com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0 (android-gradle-plugin).
It took a while rectifying the issue but finally, one of the major blockers is fixed for good.
As mentioned in the last report, many blockers needed a fix. Thanks to andrewsh for the gradle upload (4.4.1-12)
Currently, we are left with one error:
e: /home/samyak/kotlin/master/kotlin-1.3.30/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/plugin/TaskProviderHolder.kt: (25, 59): Unresolved reference: register
I was planning to backport the same error from the Gradle like others but turns out that the register method was implemented in the DefaultTaskContainer.java which lined up ten more files. I tried backporting the same. It ends with an error. [3] I'll try to write a kotlin method for the same or debug this as soon as possible. :fingers-crossed :)
Apart from that, we have Android Tools BoF on August 27, 14:00 UTC. [4]
Join us if you like :D
I documented agendas and stuff for the same. [5]
And, in the end, DebConf'20 Started <3
Thanks and regards,
Samyak Jain
