There is only one way to reach that goal is building everything from source and checking the license of every source file. Relying on a repository full of binaries without source code is simply not an option. That is not a theoretical problem only - we often find non-free licenses and license violations when checking the sources. > So to get Gradle into Debian it seems there has to be an Ant build > without use of Ivy or Maven. BTW, we have both ivy and maven in Debian. More and more packages are shipping pom files to make them usable for building packages with maven in offline mode. But we are far from having a complete and sane maven repo within Debian. Cheers, Torsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
