I think you have 1 minor misunderstanding about how lein is working here. Lein isn't checking "not-really-trusted-package" out of github, it's retrieving the corresponding "artifact" from a maven-style repository.
If "version" doesn't end in "-SNAPSHOT", then lein (deferring to the way maven works) will retrieve that dependency to your local $HOME/.m2/repository/not-really-trusted-package/version directory, and never update it again (because it doesn't have a SHAPSHOT suffix). In addition, all of the repositories that lein is configured with by default have a policy of never updating non-SNAPSHOT versions, so it's not really possible for that artifact to change out from under you. That's the whole point of the maven/lein "repeatable builds" philosophy. --Aaron On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 5:16 AM, t x <txrev...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > ## Context: > > * I'm using lein. > * In my project.clj, I have something like: > > :dependencies[ [org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"] > [org.clojure/clojurescript "0.0.-2173"] > [not-really-trusted-package "version"]] > > Now, I don't like pulling not-really-trusted-package, which can > change under me.
