I checked the signature and checksums of the source and binary artifacts. I could build the jars, run the tests and install locally from the sources but because of Gradle's recent breaking changes you have to bootstrap getting the wrapper using Gradle 4.0+. Also, when I try to run certain targets (e.g. dist) or particular combinations of switches (e.g. trying to skip indy) I also noticed the build would hang. It feels like a Gradle thing but I haven't had time to track it down.
In summary, +1 from me with some minor caveats we should mention in the release email/fix before the next alpha * we should document the Gradle 4 requirement for running the wrapper task * the license files specifically mention ASM 4 but we are now on 6 even though the license hasn't changed * the Spock version referenced is a snapshot version - which is required for 3.0 at the moment but not needed for 2.6 * we should try to harden the build and work out why it hangs or whether particular steps/switches can be used to minimise potential problems * we should release note some known limitations (final decision on native lambdas still pending, groovysh/groovydoc not yet working with Parrot) Cheers, Paul.
