Re: Clojure & Maven Resolver packages

[Julien Lepiller]

You could try updating maven resolver, but that means you will also have to rebuild all its dependents and make sure they don't break.

Maven stuff are a bit fragile under Guix because we can't build them as intended. There's a chicken-and-egg problem with maven, its dependencies and its plugins. So we can only use a rudimentary build system that breaks easily with updates.

If you decide to try and update that package, it would be much welcome and if you have any issues or questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask for help!

Hello Guix,

I would like to enable the S3 transporter for the Clojure package. For
this I need version 1.8.2 of the Maven Resolver packages. Right now we
have version 1.6.3 packaged in Guix.

Should I update the existing packages to 1.8.2 or create new package
variants with a 1.8 prefix for this?

Right now I have the variants, but I was wondering what the best
approach would be.

Thanks, Roman.
