I don't know if there are deficiencies with this approach, but if you make project.clj the 'original source of truth', and generate pom.xml via 'lein install', does the auto-generated pom.xml contain everything you would need?
The Clojure build/release process is structured around the pom.xml — making a new release automatically updates the pom.xml file so you’d still need to manually keep the version in sync (in project.clj) otherwise you risk breaking the build. Additionally, I don’t know what would need to be in project.clj to generate the correct pom.xml file. Frankly, this isn’t really a big deal (as far as I’m concerned). Maintainers manage their project.clj how they want. The pom.xml file is the "original source of truth". The only downside is some users see project.clj in there and think it’s a normal Clojure project and expect the version to be accurate (instead of actually reading the README.md which should provide this information — based on the "standard" Clojure contrib README.md skeleton that has been used in most (or certainly many) of the project repos. I’ve added a comment to java.jdbc’s project.clj to clarify this: https://github.com/clojure/java.jdbc/blob/master/project.clj#L1-L3 And: https://github.com/clojure/java.jdbc/blob/master/project.clj#L15-L19 Sean Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
