dh-clojure
dh-clojure is a new debhelper plugin/buildsystem aimed at streamlining building and maintaining Clojure packages in Debian.
It currently supports building Leiningen packages.
Motivation
Without dh-clojure, packaging and maintaining Clojure packages involves crafting an intricate patch on the upstream project.clj files to adjust dependency artifact versions, strip unwanted plugins and add the :local-repo key.
With every new upstream release, this patch needs to be rebased by hand, leading to large amounts of tedious, manual work that's prone to errors.
Status
dh-clojure is functional for most simple libraries, but needs additional work to handle some corner cases.
Packages
A few packages have been transitioned to dh-clojure. As we transition more packages, we expect to find more bugs and corner cases to handle.
