Description
Search.maven can't find all the artifacts that are commonly used in clojure projects. Often these libraries can be found on Clojars. Examples of this are: aero, clj-http, clj-time, ... This results in cljr-update-project-dependency to throw the error cljr--get-versions-from-middleware: Empty version list received from middleware!. A secondary effect of this is that it stops walking all dependencies in a project when using cljr-update-project-dependencies when it hits one of these.
I'm happy to write a pull request for this. Before I do this I'd like to suggest what I'd like to change and see if this is a welcome contribution.
I would add a fallback to getting the version from clojars if non was returned from the search.maven API. Clojars has a straightforward API that returns artifact version. Examples:
https://clojars.org/api/artifacts/com.taoensso/timbre
https://clojars.org/api/artifacts/aero
It's pretty straightforward. Are there any problems I'm missing with this? Is this a welcome contribution?
Thanks for this great library I use actively every day!
