Packaging Gradle

Dear all,

I have a few queries.

Is there a way we can go about updating gradle using some another way? I 
have worked on major part of the update last summer but seems we can't 
go any further without gradle enterprise plugin.
I am trying to update gradle to 6.4.1 and it doesn't build kotlin-dsl 
plugin as of now. Gradle enterprise plugin (formerly buildscan) is 
needed for it which is proprietary.


I am working on it here 
<https://salsa.debian.org/theloudspeaker-guest/gradle>. current progress 
about enterprise plugin is under enterprise-test branch.


There have been already tons and tons of patches to remove other parts 
which are missing in debian in a bid to atleast make core gradle work. 
These patches along with all the changes in upstream have made it almost 
impossible to upgrade Gradle in Debian. A better approach is needed in 
my opinion. A gradle installer which pulls latest gradle and installs it 
would be easiest way to go about. But then it won't come under standard 
Debian repositories.


I created a upstream issue to discuss the enterprise plugin situation 
#16439 <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/16439>

They mentioned that it is possible but didn't mention how yet.

I also created a upstream issue to discuss better ways of packaging 
Gradle. #16512 <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/16512>

We can discuss this here on mailing list or IRC or salsa to find a way 
to go forward with this.


Thank you.
