That was left in the root `build.gradle` because that's where it had effectively been before.
Old style: publication was shoved into a `subprojects {` configuration, and `askpass` was outside that configuration, implicitly applied to the root project that called the `apply from: 'publish.gradle'`. New style: publication is explicitly requested in the relevant subprojects via their own `apply from: 'publish.gradle'`. The `askpass` logic which had been applied at root is now explicitly owned by the root's `build.gradle`. To my eye, that logic is just a sanity check that gets run once the graph is ready. That seems like a thing to be owned by root. [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/geode/pull/3038 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for notifications@geode.apache.org
