Bug#998708: Please upgrade to 6.9.1

[Jérôme Charaoui]

Hello,

I would like to add that the current version of Gradle in Debian is 
unable to execute the test suites of many Gradle-built packages, since 
support for JUnit5 tests was only added in the 4.6 release:

Thanks,

Bug#998708: Please upgrade to 6.9.1

[Toni]

Package: gradle
Version: 4.4.1-13
Severity: wishlist



Hi,

while trying to create a new version of the groovy package, I noticed,
that they ask for version 6.9.1 of gradle. It would be nice to have,
given that our current version is already three years old.


Thanks,
Toni
