Bug#933264: don't think the new kotlin and hence new gradle will come soon.

[shirish शिरीष]

Dear Martin,

Don't think it wil happen soon, although would be delighted to be proved wrong.

>From what I understand, there seems to be issues with kotlin's
packaging or some sources in kotlin's source package. See Emmanuel
Buorg's reply to a similar asked by me couple of months ago. [1] .

Although no reason to lose hope just yet as there was another small
update to gradle in sid and now in testing today [2]

I am guessing we either have to wait for the java-team to move forward
or if you have any programming/packaging skills and wish to contribute
such skills then you can start by asking the java-team [3] . Looking
forward to any news and updates on kotlin as and when possible :)
