Bug#902763: clojure: Include new CLI tools and runner scripts

[Elana Hashman]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the report! My apologies for not getting back to you
sooner; the maintainer email for Clojure was incorrect so I didn't
receive a copy of this bug. I just uploaded a fix for that today.


I would like to package the new Clojure CLI scripts, and have an ITP
open here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891141

However, as you noted, the new CLI has a dependency on
tools.deps.alpha. Unfortunately, that package has a very long
dependency tree, many of which are not currently in Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891136

It took me about a year to package a similarly complex dependency tree
for Leiningen, and maintaining that package has been eating up most of
my development cycles. If you are interested in working on packaging
some of tools.deps.alpha's dependencies, I'd be happy to review and
sponsor uploads.

It would be really great to get this into the buster release as the
default CLI for clojure 1.9, but I think it is going to be a lot of
work :)

Cheers,
