hi, all. I have an unfortunately complex build with groovy and gradle 8, using a series of plugins, etc., that I need to convert to be ABLE to be an airgapped build (i.e., have an offline construction such that it doesn't touch a network that it would have no access to anyway). There are offline dependency plugins, but they're badly out of date, and they resolve plugin dependencies poorly. I have a few options in mind, but before I chase them too far, I wanted to see if there's conventional wisdom to apply here.

have you tried https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_verification.html#sec:verification-dry-mode to fetch all dependencies and https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_caching.html#sec:ephemeral-ci-cache to transfer them? shouldn't require any third-party plugins

Well, the quick answer to THAT is "no, I haven't" but I'm going to look into them NOW, thank you
