git-related clj dep issues - https authentication is not supported yet by clj -- I wrote a patch that is waiting for eyes upstream - ssh authentication via Java is a usability trashfire. Works easily for some, doesn't work for others. I started rewriting tools.gitlibs (the underlying library) to shell out to git, but I'm not sure it is viable because the solution must work across Windows to be accepted upstream. - must ensure ssh-keyscan -H <host> >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts because you cannot accept unseen ssh hostkeys (clj is non-interactive) - esoteric .ssh/config options can break cloning because the underlying java ssh libraries reads the config file poorly - ed25519 keys supported via ssh-agent, but not via ~/.ssh/config entries i wrote that internally, thought it would be a useful summary of some usability issues here

If you want to make a troubleshooting page on wiki or site, go for it

wiki page is a great idea

Report from a training session we did with clj using the linux installer. The jars were created as root read-only! That makes the scripts broken for most users to our knowledge.

Looking at the script, I think it could be different to make these problems go away. Maybe I'll take a stab at tackling them.

@alexmiller What is your process for testing the linux installer?
