Does anyone know how to change the local maven repo folder when running clj so that jars are downloaded and searched for in a different folder than ~/.m2

in deps.edn, set :mvn/local-repo "/foo/bar" at top level

Thanks @alexmiller that works. Sadly enough it seems not possible to put this option in the :aliases. My problem is that I want the maven repo to be local to my source code when I run unit tests on my CI server. While when developing locally I want to just use the default ~/.m2. Are there plans to allow the key also in the :aliases? Or maybe I should revert to tricks like rewriting the deps.edn file on the CI server prior to running tests etc (ugh)

you can use -Sdeps '{:mvn/local-repo "whatever"}' just on CI

Cool! I am just a beginner with tools-deps 🙂

My friend got this error when using brew on his mac, I don't use mac, so don't really understand why gcc is related to clojure at all?

Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
 CompilerSelectionError: clojure cannot be built with any available compilers.
Install GNU's GCC

seems bad

brew doctor is the generic "why is brew broken?"

brew install clojure should not require anything to be compiled

brew update updates brew itself

Does brew generally work without xtools?

installing xtools solved it, so I guess that's a dependency? /shrug

I never understood how xtools is exactly involved, I guess to allow brew to compile stuff

yeah, but, unless it compiles rlwrap from source, I have no idea what it would be building.

Me neither
