Clojurians Log v2

It used to be in the docs but -X:deps mvn-pom is the preferred way to do it now. The old -Spom still works (for now).

The difference is in how aliases are handled when building the basis for creating the list of dependencies for the pom.xml file.

The normal invocation is -X:alias some.ns/some-func. Since we have only mvn-pom alone, is it in the clojure.core namespace? But doesn’t sound like so.

:deps is an alias provided by the CLI itself that brings in tools.deps.alpha. It has a default namespace so mvn-pom is a function in that namespace, as are several other functions you can invoke via -X:deps such as list or tree

find-versions, prep are two others mentioned in the deps and CLI guide

There are several such functions described here https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli

Yup. ns-default https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli#_arg_map_keys
