How can I deploy a Leiningen template to Clojars? - clojure

Question

I have created a Leiningen project on my local machine which I then turn into a template by doing:
lein create-template webdb
: Then I install the template:
cd webdb
lein install
: which allows me to create projects based on the template locally:
lein new webdb anewproject
: Everything works fine up to here. However if I try to deploy the template to clojars using:
cd webdb
lein deploy clojars
: then whenever I try to use the clojars profile to create a template I get an error:
lein new org.clojars.zubairq2/webdb anothernewproject
: gives the error:
Could not find metadata org.clojars.zubairq2/webdb:lein-template/maven-metadata.xml in local (/Users/faroukzquraishi/.m2/repository)
Failure to find org.clojars.zubairq2/webdb:lein-template/maven-metadata.xml in http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced
Failure to find org.clojars.zubairq2/webdb:lein-template/maven-metadata.xml in http://clojars.org/repo/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of clojars has elapsed or updates are forced
This could be due to a typo in :dependencies or network issues.
Could not find template org.clojars.zubairq2/webdb on the classpath.
: does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

your upload seems to have worked and the result is here:
https://clojars.org/webdb/lein-template
you can make a project like this:
arthur#a:~$ lein new webdb newproject
Retrieving webdb/lein-template/0.1.0-SNAPSHOT/lein-template-0.1.0-20130618.143034-5.pom from clojars
Retrieving webdb/lein-template/0.1.0-SNAPSHOT/lein-template-0.1.0-20130618.143034-5.jar from clojars

To use a lein plugin, you must make it a dependency it in your .lein/profiles.clj
Since you project is on clojars, if you add its dependency it should be available to you.
