Re: Updating gradle to 6.4.1

[Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@at.or.at>]

Hey Raman,

Here's the error in question:
sed \
	-e 's/\(.*\):: *$/\n=item \1\n/' \
	-e 's/`\([^`]*\)`/B<\1>/g' \
	-e 's/^+$//g' \
	-e 's/\(https:[^[]*\)[[][^]]*\]/L<\1>/g' \
	-e '/<<sec:[^>]*>>/y/_/ /' \
	-e 's/<<sec:\([^>]*\)>>/the documentation section B<\U\1\E>/g' \
	-e '/<<[^>]*>>/y/_/ /' \
	-e 's/<<\([^>]*\)>>/the documentation section B<\U\1\E>/g' \
	-e 's/ (\([^)]*\))>/> (\1)/g' \
	-e '/daemon_cli]]/,$d' \
	-e '0,/The command-line options available/d' \
	subprojects/docs/src/docs/userguide/commandLine.adoc >> debian/gradle.pod
sed: can't read subprojects/docs/src/docs/userguide/commandLine.adoc: No
such file or directory

Looks like that file no longer exists in the latest gradle.  It could
have moved somewhere else in the upstream repo, or they removed it and
generate the docs in a different way.

> c. Things that the patch modifies aren't available in current version.

But it fails to on a binary build (debuild -b). Here are the build errors (https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FnZ8WfSKgj/). [2] It is still a work in progress. I will try to debug the errors and make changes as required. I am available in #debian-java on OFTC for discussion.
