Consider publish to mvn also? about deps-new HOT 5 CLOSED

Why? What problem does that solve?

deps-new is designed to be installed as a CLI tool but you can also use it as a git dep.

in the old mvn world, there is :mvn/version "RELEASE", but I don't find the equivalent in the new :git/tag way?

If you install it as a tool, there's a built-in way to update tools to the latest version.

Can you explain the use case where you're trying to use this as a library instead of a tool?

check the linked deps.edn for example: https://github.com/sg-qwt/nixos/blob/050fbb94e067645610dbe8f929776820c7f2a290/config/clojure/deps.edn

In the dev profile, I can simply defined that declaratively and call it a day. No need to worry about update latest git tag and hash. But as said, if deps-new is solely designed as used of tool, that's fine by me. I personally prefer the old dep.edn way though. Not the new tool way.

The tool way is more a imperative workflow to me, ie: if i go to a new computer, I run clj -Ttools install, remove,update manually.

While deps.edn way is declarative, I declare the deps.edn once and link it to anywhere, thats all.

FWIW, I keep my user config for the Clojure CLI in git too -- https://github.com/seancorfield/dot-clojure/tree/develop/tools -- and I include the tools installations that way too, so I can leverage the idiomatic clojure -Ttools stuff for listing/updating etc.

deps-new requires templates that are git or local deps so making deps-new itself available as a Maven (Clojars) coordinate seems weird.
