Clojurians Log v2

@alexmiller Is it just an oversight that https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/10564/specify-an-alias-that-is-a-set-of-other-aliases has no associated Jira ticket for it?

probably

It is possible to use many aliases with each other as has been stated in the stack exchange post, by chaining them together I have found that explicitly including the aliases used to be much clearer as to the intent of the command and offers far greater flexibility. Defining relationships between aliases seems like it could lead to greater complexity in the design and levels of abstraction behind what is otherwise can be a very clear chain of aliases. Once you can have an alias depend on another, what is the precedence of any conflicting configs between aliases? Would we also need to have an excludes mechanism, as with dependencies?

Hi! I’m using 1.10.3.855 version of CLI and I’m getting strange (to me at least) results:

$ clojure -P -A:test:lint

@il.tmfv it could be that :test:lint results in a different resolution for jackson than only :test

how to check it?

you could try -Stree for either

Yep, looks like it I see that for test com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core is in different “place” How to handle such situations? Run -P twice for each alias to have CI cache for all possible deps?

yes, you should run -P for whatever set of aliases you plan to run - the version choices are affected by the total set of libs you've selected

good, thank you guys 🤝

An aside - I really love that Clojure has a man page on my computer. Thank you for maintaining that 🙂

;)

(I hadn't seen the -P before, so I looked there)

whatever format that's called, it is the worst markup format

troff probably

Yeah, that's the one.

https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc/ You might be interested in trying this instead.

of course the man page is by elana hashman. She is awesome

(just reading it now, didn't know it was there before)

she contributed it a few years ago and I've been keeping it up to date in the package

its a nice touch. thanks!

You probably are aware but https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoctor/latest/manpage-backend/

Oh yeah it can. I forgot that clojure uses adoc, use the adoc man format thing if you can 😄 adoc is the best.
