libling / sbt-hackling Goto Github PK

A way to find and resolve liblings without knowing their repo location.

This could be implemented for now as a github repo libling/index that just contains some code describing known liblings.

A task for sbt-hackling to submit a libling to this repo as PR.

The simplest way to deal with conflicting versions might be eviction of older versions. This could be done by determining if any one commit is an ancestor/descendant of another and evicting ancestors from the dependencies.

Sometimes we might want to have multiple versions of the same source tree as dependencies for some reasons. Any eviction should be overridable.

Right now adding a source dependency is a bit unwieldy:

sourceDependencies += Dependency(
        HashVersion("<git commit long hash>"),
        Repositories(uri("<https git repository uri>")))

We'd like something more like:

sourceDependencies += hash("<git commit hash>") from uri("<repo uri>")
sourceDependencies += tag("<git tag name>") from uri("<repo uri>")
sourceDependencies += branch("<git branch name>") from uri("<repo uri>")
sourceDependencies += hash("<git commit hash>") from Seq(uri("<repo uri1>"), uri("<repo uri1>"))
[etc...]

Many liblings will be most useful as add-ons to already available libraries.

A way to add those libs as binary dependencies to a libling. This could be done by using the ivy lock files that should be available in sbt 1.0
