Programmatically connect dependencies to the maven repos that provide them

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 20:38:29 +0000

As a Clojure developer,
I want to be able to link project dependencies to the maven repos that provide them
so that a) tools that work with dependencies (e.g. nvd-clojure, clj-watson) have more first-hand information to work with, b) I can easily find out custom maven repos that are no longer used and c) get a better understanding in general of what my project is composed of.

Workaround

clj -Sdeps '{:mvn/local-repo "tmp"}' -Stree uses a custom local maven repo to force a redownload of the jars and provides a way to do the above by looking at the messages (e.g. Downloading: org/clojure/clojure/1.11.1/clojure-1.11.1.pom from central), so it can be ok in some cases.

Would you consider simplifying this process by providing a way to get that information as data? I would love to have it in clj -X:deps tree :format :edn for instance.

Support `:mvn/repos` inside an alias

This is similar to https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/11711/set-mvn-local-repo-via-alias, sorry if I should have just added a note there instead of opening another question.

:mvn/repos does not seem to work inside of an alias either -- only at the top level of deps.edn. If this is intentional, it would be a nicer experience if CLI logged some sort of ":mvn/repos is not supported inside of aliases" warning on launch.
