[dependabot]

Bumps gradle/actions from 6.0.1 to 6.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from gradle/actions's releases.

v6.1.0

New: Basic Cache Provider

A new MIT-licensed Basic Caching provider is now available as an alternative to the proprietary Enhanced Caching provided by gradle-actions-caching. Choose Basic Caching by setting cache-provider: basic on setup-gradle or dependency-submission actions.

• Built on @actions/cache -- fully open source
• Caches ~/.gradle/caches and ~/.gradle/wrapper directories
• Cache key derived from build files (*.gradle*, gradle-wrapper.properties, etc.)
• Clean cache on build file changes (no restore keys, preventing stale entry accumulation)

Limitations vs Enhanced Caching: No cache cleanup, no deduplication of cached content, cached content is fixed unless build files change.

Revamped Licensing & Distribution Documentation

• New DISTRIBUTION.md documents the licensing of each component (particularly Basic Caching vs Enhanced Caching)
• Simplified licensing notices in README, docs, and runtime log output
• Clear usage tiers: Enhanced Caching is free for public repos and in Free Preview for private repos

What's Changed

• Use a unique cache entry for wrapper-validation test by @​bigdaz in gradle/actions#921
• Update Dependencies by @​bigdaz in gradle/actions#922
• Update dependencies and resolve npm vulnerabilities by @​bigdaz in gradle/actions#933
• Add open-source 'basic' cache provider and revamp licensing documentation by @​bigdaz in gradle/actions#930
• Restructure caching documentation for basic and enhanced providers by @​bigdaz in gradle/actions#934

This action now contains proprietary 'Enhanced Caching' code. Not sure if we're comfortable with that?

[potiuk]

Agreed. I missed it in previous version but I think we should just not allow it.

6.1.0 introduced cache-provider: basic feature. Can we allow 6.1.0 with cache-provider: basic?

I guess that changes things - the only thing it is not default, and we have - currently no way to verify it - unless we add custom check on our actions scanner.

[dongjoon-hyun]

Got it. So, is this Gradle action v6.0.1 hash going to be removed from the approved pattern soon?

I guess - if we agree to that.

Having slept on this I think it is OK to leave this for the projects to decide.

Since it is possible to use the action transparently, and Gradle is a 'trustworthy' partner so we don't expect shenanigans even in the proprietary cache implementation, I think we can allow the action here and leave it up to the individual projects to decide their risk appetite.

While adding this check to a scanner tool would be neat, it doesn't seem like a high priority - we're already overloading projects with information so we should be careful with that.

Approving, but not merging yet, would be good to have more consensus.

I am ok with that - maybe we can - indeed add some checks in our current (and updated in the future) action checker for ASF PMCs. That could be a warning initially or error later if we find that gradle action is miconfigured.

[potiuk]

Is 2 people enough for a consensus ? :)

[raboof]

:D since the license change is actually already there since the previous update and I saw no other objections I think 2 is sufficient - we can always revisit this decision later.

[dongjoon-hyun]

Thank you. It's great to have v6.1.0.
