Clojurians Log v2

is it not a Clojure project?

I think you can set org.clojure/clojure nil in the :extra passed to create-basis if you want to omit it

Also :classpath-overrides should work, like we discussed last time

yeah, it is a Clojure project, I just saw when testing something on lein that my library was providing a version of clojure that was replacing the version there, and I was curious why it was the case

so, as library authors what are best practices for packaging libraries? since by default it will include a dependency on your dev clojure version I guess, which will then overwrite users one?

Just specify the lowest clojure version you depend on?

well, the opposite of that - the user presumably defines their own clojure version at top level and that controls

many libs do specify a minimum version, but that's more informational than useful in practice

Rich has argued that Clojure libs should treat Clojure itself as a "provided" (undeclared) dependency. I personally find that often to be tedious because you need to specify extra stuff to test or dev. In practice, the user using a lib has the actual say, so it doesn't actually matter, because top-level lib versions always win

great, thanks! first time I'm thinking about this stuff a little deeper since I'm working in this clojure dev compiler that I swap on dev over the official one, but no problem since the user can remove the org.clojure/clojure in deps and lein
