David: I may be able to attend, but perhaps only via keyboard. It depends on when I get back from an appointment in time. If I don’t make it back in time, here’s some grist for the mill.
Can we add an item for the Gradle build effort? I’m curious what people think about that effort and whether it’s worth pursuing and if so, how/when. Should we make it a goal to make it the only build system for 9.0? Try to backport for 8x? etc. So far, it’s not a big deal to keep the Gradle branch current with master, there are _very_ few necessary code changes, it’s almost all new code. Dawid noticed some issues where the gradle_8 branch doesn’t match master, I’m not sure what’s going on with that. If some variant of my straw-man proposal below is adopted, my vote would be to make the Gradle build 9x only assuming we go forward with it. ************* My straw-man proposal: If we’re going to make many of the changes the agenda outlines, we’re going to be tearing up a lot of code. And, I very much assume, going through quite a period of (more) instability. So I expect making changes unrelated to this effort on both master and 8x will become increasingly difficult. Should we be prepared to “soft freeze" 8x and bend efforts to releasing 9.0 at some point (TBD)? I don’t think of this is a “hard freeze”, more like pretending we just made a 9.0 release and getting increasingly selective about what we attempt to backport. And thanks for organizing this!
