Hi,

For information:

Yesterday I tried to rebuild (on trixie) the 110 identified source 
packages that depend on Gradle. That kept my low-end, second-hand laptop 
busy for about 5 hours. Most packages (102, ~93%) were rebuilt without 
issues. The 8 packages that failed to build OOTB were:

1. android-framework-23
2. android-platform-external-doclava
3. android-platform-tools-base
4. gradle-kotlin-dsl
5. kotlin
6. kotlinx-atomicfu
7. kotlinx-coroutines
8. zeroc-ice

#1 and #2 already had FTBFS bugs unresolved since 2022, are severely 
outdated and their former uploader is not listed as a DD anymore (he 
requested to be removed as uploader of several packages in 2022 but is 
still listed in a few ones, these would require some final cleanup). 
These packages need a full overhaul and are not worth fixing in their 
current state so we can ignore them for now.

#3 has a FTBFS bug unresolved since Aug 2024, is also severely outdated 
(2017), and overall same verdict as above.

#4 to #7 fail because the current Kotlin compiler won't run with Java 21 
(class files version 65). I'm currently working on this as part of the 
Kotlin 1.3.31 rebuild issue.

#8 failed because it depends on an updated PHP that was not yet in 
testing. It succeeded after manually installing the required dependency.

The good news here is that right now nothing (else) needs to be fixed to 
rebuild with the current Gradle 4.4.1.

Cheers,
