leiningen / leiningen-chocolatey Goto Github PK

I'm not sure why version 8 specifically is necessary, but if OpenJDK 11 is viable, the licensing considerations for that are less onerous than for Oracle's.

The helpful folks at chocolatey.org have recommended that we can package the software -as is- up to a size of ~150MB as we are the vendor.

Right now I am just trying to get a 2.7 release out on chocolatey as there was a 2.2 on it (from 2013).

So I see three possibilities from now on:

1. continue with a PowerShell script that downloads the .bat which in turn does lein self-install
   • easiest for now, as I just adapted the code that was already there
2. package the lein.bat that comes with the release (i.e. 2.7.2 or 2.8.0) and then run lein self-install (I think I prefer this one)
   • looks like the "least deviating way" - we just ship lein.bat differently
   • a bit more work, needs downloading the new lein.bat every release
3. package lein.bat AND the jar (right now it's just under 15MB)
   • it's a proper "release" or "package" on a different channel, like a .deb
   • needs downloading the new lein.bat and .jar every release
   • would probably include a lot of binary blobs in this repo.
   • it's more work to develop (but only slightly more than 2.)
   • it's more work to maintain (but only slightly more than 2.)
