I'm assuming you're talking about pushing a modified version of a library to Clojars rather than just developing and testing some patches locally (for which you don't need to change anything, just use "lein install" to install to your local ~/.m2 repository or symlink the jars or sources into your project's directory if that's more convenient). Leave the original dependencies in as they will still be needed, unless your patch explicitly removes them. You can of course remove any :dev-dependencies you don't want as they're just for the development environment. Rename the project to something like: org.clojars.yourname/someproject. It's also probably a good idea to mention in the :description field what you've changed so that when people are searching they know when to choose your version or the original. Of course better than that is to get your changes into the original library by sending your patches to the original author -- try sending them a pull request if they're using github. That way your changes will be maintained and future bug fixes will be included with them etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
