Is publishing gradle metadata always enabled now? I got this warning from gradle 6.0.1:

enableFeaturePreview('GRADLE_METADATA') has been deprecated. This is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 7.0. The feature flag is no longer relevant, please remove it from your settings file.

If I remove this option from my

settings.gradle.kts

gradle metadata still seems to be published. Is there any option to disable this and publish only classic artifacts?

It is published by default from 6.0.

@Robert Jaros Why do you want to disable publication of gradle metadata?

see my next question

Just like Dominic recommended, disabling the metadata generation task (using

named

+

enable = false

) is the best workaround I'm aware of yet, which is supported by Gradle (although not made extremely straightforward to use as you need to find the name of the task).
