The answer to all these questions is that: contrib has grown organically, without anyone imposing structure. Rich Hickey has taken a largely hands-off approach, allowing us to use contrib as a sandbox to share useful clojure code. I think it's valuable to have contrib as a sandbox. But this discussion shows it's also valuable to have Clojure libraries with their own external dependencies. Contrib right now is just an SVN repo, so it's pretty limited in terms of what it can do. If we want to handle multiple projects, with different dependencies, we need a more sophisticated system. We can try to piggyback on an existing Java system like Maven or Ivy, or start from scratch. But someone(s) will then have to take responsibility for maintaining that repository. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
