Re: gradle reboot -- 2024W47 update

Good evening,

Some news from this adventure:

I found out what triggered the issue, which was a combination of 
incomplete dependencies fixes/removals that missed the missing sources 
(still following?) newly imported (mostly testing code) and 
--write-verification-metadata being prone to deadlocks after errors 
happened in the configuration stage, which is probably worth a bug 
report upstream if I manage to craft a less exotic reproducer. Not 
getting any clue about what was wrong was frustrating to say the least, 
I had to debug the thing with jdb to figure that out.

Now the build starts again, does not complain anymore about 
libnative-platform-java after an updated package was installed, and 
fails against another outdated lib, details are on the updated README 
there [1]

I haven't received a lot of feedback (as in: none) from this list about 
what is in my repos yet, but that's still very welcome and encouraged ;)

Next week I will start working on a detailed action plan and PoC for the 
rebootstrap, in between build runs and fixups.

Have a nice week-end,
