New comment by knusbaum on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/34746#issuecomment-1017936489 Comment: Genuine question: Is there a particular reason we want to upgrade `gradle`? It seems to make certain packages more difficult to build, requiring patches for `freerouting`. Void is rolling-release, but ["focuses on stability, rather than on being bleeding-edge"](https://voidlinux.org/). What do we get from this upgrade? That said, the recent `apache-jmeter` update (https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/35114) causes it to build with the provided `gradlew` script, removing its dependence on `gradle`. (I'm removing `gradle` as a dependency altogether in #35147) You should be able to upgrade `gradle` without affecting it.
