Bigtop and Gradle: hope we can push each other forward.

hi bigtop!

I've posted this question in the gradle forums, specifically directed at
hopefully to bump gradle upstream packaging up as a first class priority,
so that it will be easier for all of us to adopt bigtop at a broader level
in the downstream.

http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/what_is_the_gradle_status_in_fedora_and_how_can_we_make_sure_it_continues_to_get_packaged_in_the

If any of you know people in the gradle community, maybe we can try to work
with them , or discuss with them, about possibilities for making gradle a
first class linux tool.

In the end it will increase bigtop adoption if its core toolchain has
unambiguous licensing ans is  easy to package.

Any other thoughts about the elephant in the room (gradle is awesome and
fun to use, but also its new to enterprises and they arent comfortable with
its packaging yet), and how we can improve the situation?Or any of you
folks know anyone in the gradle community we can work with on this?

It'd be certainly great to have this technology packages as a part of any
standard linux distro. It isn't like Bigtop is blocked by the absense of such
packaging, but having it in place won't hurt for sure.

Thanks will ! I guess for now its not a huge concern:  BigTop will still
ship and work just fine.
And since most of the bigtop sources are in groovy and java anyways, the
core stuff can be used in a variety of different ways.

Hi Jay,

The comments for this bug have some pointers to reasons why Gradle is no longer in Fedora:
