What Jay said: bigtop doesn't really approve of patching source code releases from the Apache. However, make build system has a way to do this. And the question ultimately is "Shall we support patching in gradle build?" and if yes then "Shall it be better than the one we have in the make?"
We just had this chat at the hackathon and I think we should go ahead and simply drop make build (as has been voted before). And if we need to have a patching in the gradle build - we'll add it later. Any objections? Cos On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 01:21PM, Jay Vyas wrote: > Hi jean mark. Thanks for figuring this out....
