tools-deps 2025-05-15

Should a basis (as returned by clojure.tools.build.api/create-basis) have metadata?

specifically if the dep.edn file contains for example:

:extra-deps   {com.github.liquidz/antq ^:antq/exclude {:mvn/version "2.11.1276"}}
should I be able to find the :antq/exclude metadata on the dependency?

afaik, edn can not have metadata. So I guess the answer will be "no, it should not"

context for that 'yes' is that this use of metadata is not encouraged / supported

lol) then don't mind my reply )
