Re: Package uses Gradle (retired) to build: what to do?

The problem with Gradle as far as I'm aware is that it's a moving
target. It insist on updating itself when you have an incompatible
version and versions tend to break compatibility a lot, with new
features added often, all of which makes impossible for a Linux
distribution to keep up realiably.

Cheers,
Mario
