Hi all, Today I added some more detailed notes on what Gradle dependencies should be upgraded or get packaged. I deleted my .gradle directory and ran freshly the build with Gradle wrapper, then I explored every jar files it downloaded. Please check it out: https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Gradle
According to the list, there are quite many packages that are missing in Debian, however not all of them are seriously needed to package. Some are only for tests during the build, others are for plugins and we can disable them for now. Actually we only need to package a couple of projects, if we turn off the test during the build. And for the outdated packages, there are lots of them but we can deal with them quite easily. For now we can simply add a "flatDir repository" to the build scripts and it will ignore the version when searching for the needed jar files. After the GSoC I will start upgrading them, for the time is limited right now. Another thing that surprised me was that neither JaCoCo and PMD are needed for building Gradle, and Komal and I are packaging them! So Komal, we should hold on and focus on other things. I am so sorry for giving us the wrong tasks. :( Cheers and apologies, Kai-Chung -- /* * 殷啟聰 | Kai-Chung Yan * Full-time student of Providence University of Taiwan * LinkedIn: <https://linkedin.com/in/seamlik> * Blog: <seamlik.logdown.com> */ __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
