what's the recommended way of creating non-canonical forks of a repo? I ended up doing something like this:

lein jar
lein deploy clojars org.clojars.rymndhng/yaml 1.0.8 target/yaml-1.0.8.jar pom.xml

For a non-lein based project, not that I’m aware of. For a lein-based one, you have to still edit the project.clj, but can just lein deploy clojars after that, so it is slightly simpler

yeah it's a lein based project! i considered changing project.clj. I wanted to keep my fork on github as close as possible to the upstream one, but thanks!
