In bug #976330[1], there's been some discussion of the desire to upgrade Gradle from 1.0 to a new version (currently 1.8), and that there is significant hassle to actually do so. Some of this hassle I see in the bugs blocking 976330 - upgrading to Aether, newer Plexus containers, and maybe Polyglot Maven. What are the key issues that make it difficult to upgrade and maintain Gradle in Fedora? The likely ones I see: - Incompatible dependencies (Gradle may require package versions no longer shipped in Fedora) - Bootstrapping problems (the Gradle 1.8 sources won't build with Gradle 1.8, they seem to require 1.7) - Possibly library embedding (although the Gradle sources do seem to pull in the dependencies from Maven) 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976330 -- Michael Ekstrand — http://elehack.net/ -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
