does installing @ versions still work in brew?

not sure if I'm crazy or they have just broken everything I do again

brew install clojure/tools/[email protected] - no longer finds my formula and installs it

hmm, should work I think

let me try

you'll need to brew uninstall clojure first

why is that?

¯\(ツ)/¯

I just have always needed to

well that's better than me

before this I ran brew update

maybe it's just my system that's weird

since I don't auto-update brew since it tends to upgrade stuff that I don't want

yes, I've done that and brew doctor

what if you completely erase your tap and start over?

rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/clojure

trying (I used brew untap though)

well, that worked

I guess something was weird in there, dunno

I did have about 100 versions of Clojure in my caches :)

thx

so gross that it warns on those old formulae

https://www.clojure-toolbox.com/ perhaps (I don't know how up to date it is)

There's a #find-my-lib channel here that folks use to ask about libraries.

oh, that's related but a bit different than search

Otherwise, I think folks just tends to search http://clojars.org which is where most libraries are published.

Although that won't find any libraries or tools that are only published in source form -- so you'd have to search http://github.com for those I guess.

http://clojars.org is the closest to that R package site I think.

the http://clojars.org UI has evolved quite a bit since I last looked. Looks like the search there is quite good too. Aside from fancy sections on featured/most downloaded/trending this week/most depended upon/recently updated categorizations it is pretty much there

(although bear in mind that Clojure itself and all the Contrib libraries are published to Maven Central, not Clojars)

The search on http://clojars.org isn't great but it can be useful sometimes.

sure. Same in the R world. The http://r-pkg.org site is independent of cran mirrors or github repos

thanks - looks pretty good to me

although the "trending" style categorization labels might be cool

I think, generally, you get better answers asking for recommended libraries for problem spaces here in Slack 🙂 In either #find-my-lib or #clojure / #beginners depending on the level of response you want...

oh - asking in a more general sense for now. Myself, I like monitoring the categorization labels to see emergent libraries that may be useful in my current suite of projects

but maybe the answer you are suggesting is just ask here when needed 😉

And maybe follow the project #announcements and #releases channels?
