I really hope that the potential packager will package the latest released version in order to prevent such incompatibility problems soon after the package is introduced.
IMO, gradle is a really bad idea/design. Instead of being declarative like ant, it contains actual code to do the build (which seems completely unnecessary and will tend to make every build different).
I can not agree more. I have never seen worse build system in Java land.

The code generally extends the gradle API, so if the gradle API changes, and it does, all build files must be patched. I can say this was mostly never a problem for ant, which also tried to retain backwards compatibility for the most part. -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
