Bug#637273: Gradle doesn't work with Groovy 1.8.x

[Miguel Landaeta]

Package: gradle
Version: 1.0~m3-1
Severity: grave

This package is unusable with Groovy 1.8.x.
However it works perfectly with Groovy 1.7.10.

AFAIK, support for Groovy 1.8.x is not a priority for upstream until
after 1.0 release, so it doesn't make sense to hold Groovy 1.8.x from
entering unstable. The maintainance of this package will continue when
upstream make a suitable release.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: wheezy/sid
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (800, 'unstable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
