I'd love to automate this as part of our release build.
I am not sure this is an issue for Gradle per se. I would love to see both Gant and Gradle as part of MacPorts, and also Debian and Solaris (and Fedora and SuSE, but I don't have machines running them). Gradle and Gant should do as much as they can to make it easy for packages to package quickly and easily as soon as a release is made. However the infrastructure needs to do the packaging should be the responsibility of the packager not Gradle or Gant. Interestingly Groovy gets packages and released on MacPorts and yet there is no package maintainer. I wonder how that happens? Corollary, Gradle and Gant on MacPorts, Debian/Ubuntu, Solaris, Fedora, SuSE will not be using their own versions of Groovy but the one installed. This mean Groovy 1.6.1 on MacPorts. So Gradle needs to be guaranteed to work with Groovys 1.5.6 and 1.6.1 (Ubuntu for the former and MacPorts and Debian for the latter). -- Russel. ============================================================ Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 voip: sip:[email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected]
