While I agree with you generally, the linked script isn't really a fair criticism of Spinnaker. The linked script is just a standard bootstrap script, used by Gradle - I won't defend the logic behind it (they have a page for that themselves: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.htm...), but you can see the same thing in just about any project's Autotools files (see https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/aclocal.m4 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/aclocal.m4)
