I can help with testing but that's all I can help with :( I did see in the tracker though that the newer gradle isn't migrating towards testing due to jgit which I didn't know was a package till I saw it - tracker.debian.org/gradle I also saw https://bugs.debian.org/905547 which is a wishlist bug for getting a new version of jgit also which is one of the blockages of transitioning to testing. I am open to testing that as well . I did see that the recent commits to jgit-cli and brethen were on 5th august last , ~/games/eclipse-jgit$ git log commit 609ea8c723cba1584f75cef8dc8378e9206cd4bd (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Emmanuel Bourg <ebo...@apache.org> Date: Thu Aug 16 01:04:37 2018 +0200 Upload to unstable and that's - $ apt-cache policy jgit-cli jgit-cli: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3.7.1-5 Version table: 3.7.1-5 100 100 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages Looking forward to testing a new version of jgit assuming of course it doesn't have any complexities or additional package requirements as the newer gradle seems to have. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
