I keep a "Clojure stuff" dir with the latest revisions of all the projects I track -- Clojure, contrib, swank, slime, etc. -- and update them all with a shell script that runs the various "svn update" and "git pull" commands. So I always have access to the latest version of everything. But I don't automatically use the latest releases in my projects!
Each project that I work on has a "lib" dir for JARs, including Clojure. I manage the JARs manually, but they're part of my source control repository. I update the the JARs only when some new functionality or bug fix that I depend on comes out. That way I know that a project won't suddenly break just because I've updated to the latest Clojure SVN. I use Ant for build management, with separate build dirs for compiled Java code and AOT-compiled Clojure code. Here's my build.xml: http://tinyurl.com/c5vkfm Multi-version dependency tracking is HARD. I've never seen a system that does it perfectly -- Rubygems, CPAN, Maven, you name it. -Stuart S On Apr 8, 3:31 pm, Bradford Cross <bradford.n.cr...@gmail.com> wrote: > When you are building something real with Clojure and Emacs/Slime/Swank - > things can get a bit hairy with dependency management. > > I have scoured the inter-tubes in the past couple days to see what I could > find. > > I found Lancet, for builds:http://github.com/stuarthalloway/lancet/tree/master > > I haven't tried it yet. > > I found some people doing things with Maven: > > Creating a clojurue app with > maven:http://pupeno.com/blog/how-to-create-a-clojure-application?set_langua...http://pupeno.com/blog/iterative-coding-with-a-clojure-application > > clojure-pom:http://github.com/dysinger/clojure-pom/tree/master > > I heard some chatter yesterday on #clojure about using Ivy with Clojure. > > So there is a flurry of activity.
