I have chosen a delinquent Java package to work fix. But I need some help understanding what's going on. Groovy is failing to build because it depends on gradle-local which doesn't exist. But gradle-local did exist at one time because groovy was successfully build with it on 2019-07-30. So, where did gradle-local go? Why has it disappeared? I guess the important question is how can I get it back?
Hi Bill,
I don't know if groovy is a good first package to look at. You're right, it's now definitely gone and broken because gradle-local is gone - but it was also outdated and broken before that.
In turn, gradle was removed from fedora because it was really outdated and had security issues. It failed to build, and it even failed to build itself.
We tried to keep gradle (and groovy) alive, but it was a pretty gnarly package to begin with, and since we got no help from the previous maintainers, we couldn't save it.
Depending on what you want to achieve, I think I can give you better "first package to work on" suggestions :)
Fabio
