Hi,
I need to use the latest version of gradle, currently 5.6. However I already have a gradle package installed on my Fedora 30:
[xxx@wasteland ~]$ sudo dnf info gradle

Installed Packages
Name : gradle
Version : 4.4.1
Release : 4.fc30
Architecture : noarch
Size : 11 M
Source : gradle-4.4.1-4.fc30.src.rpm
Repository : @System
From repo : updates
Summary : Build automation tool
4.4.1 is an old version, but it seems there is no newer package available in Fedora repos.
I know I can download the latest version from gradle.org, unzip it and add it’s bin to my PATH, but I would have prefferred a package.
I don’t remember if I’ve installed gradle on my own in the past or it came with the distribution. When I try to uninstall it, 45 dependent packages will be removed as well. I don’t know if it’s safe to do that. Does F30 need it for something else?
