Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1494:
--------------------------------------------
bq. Alternatively, for simplicity, a Groovy file with methods combined with an
embedded JSON string of BOM components
that's exactly what Groovy DSL is solving, except that you don't need to write
any code ;)
> Introduce Groovy DSL to replace bigtop.mk in Gradle build

> Key: BIGTOP-1494
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1494
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: jay vyas
> Assignee: Konstantin Boudnik
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
>
> Seems confusing to have a {{.mk}} file which is mostly just a bunch of
> variable declarations, which is then parsed as a CSV, simply for the sake of
> guiding the {{packages.gradle}} file .
> Can we be more idiomatic to gradle and either eliminate {{bigtop.mk}} by
> making it into a native gradle data structure (its really just an array, and
> we can declare in gradle.settings) , so that the {{readBOM}} function is
> easier to follow ?
> I think it is an entry point to understanding bigtop's build system so we
> should try to simplify it as much as possible to make it maximally easy for
> people to understand how bigtop's gradle packaging system works.
