Clojars has the exact same policy with regard to modified third-party libraries, (hence the abundance of org.clojars.$USERNAME groupids) it just doesn't enforce it with technical means; it relies on its users to make responsible decisions before uploading. Unfortunately this trust seems to have been misplaced in a few instances, or perhaps the documentation just needs to be more forceful. This would not be a big problem (it's easy to fix manually) except for the fact that the Clojars maintainer has disappeared. I've tried to contact him to see if he could allow someone else to have access (perhaps a Clojure/core member?) but have been unsuccessful. I will try again though--Clojars is too important to leave it in the hands of one person. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
