That's an innocent thought :) I'm afraid it won't work though. Do you think gradle is downloading source code for its dependencies? Nope, it only downloads prebuilt JARs. So the build script loads a prebuilt gradle-wraper.jar (that's shipped with the gradle sources) that then in turn downloads more prebuilt JARs from the gradle repository to satisfy gradle's build dependencies which are then used to actually build full gradle ... _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
