Hmmh. So it would have to be totally custom, somewhat annoying…
FWIW, the same problem is solved by eg. Nexus and Artifactory by providing an entirely separate system (think property files with RGB LEDs or whatever the cool kids nowadays do to pimp out their stuff…)
I guess that would mean that in order to be able to get this, Clojure community would need to agree on project metadata descriptor which would work from sensible defaults to overridable logic to keep backwards compatibility at bay and I shudder at the thought of that, although it probably would be the most useful thing in long run…I definitely am not the person to do so, but thinking out loud the whole deps.edn effort could also benefit from this.
Thanks anyways! 🙂 Have to let this thought simmer a bit longer.
