I have been using Clojure, ClojureScript, lein, shadow-cljs, re-frame, reagent, Emacs, and CIDER to work on a Clojure/ClojureScript dynamic web app project.
Now, I am trying to make depencies be private Maven packages hosted for free on GitHub packages. Ok, I managed to publish a package!
After the successful attempt to publish my first maven package, it
ended up with the name of repository-name.repository-name
which looks ugly. As I was trying to tweak it, I ended up changing
this line on my project.clj file:
:pom-addition [:distribution-management [:repository [:id "github"]
[:name "GitHub Packages"]
[:url "https://maven.pkg.github.com/organization-name/repository-name"]]])
Instead of [:url "https://maven.pkg.github.com/organization-name/repository-name"] I
tweaked it to be [:url "https://maven.pkg.github.com/organization-name"].
Now, things got really weird in my opinion.
After executing the terminal command to publish it:
➜ mvn deploy -DaltReleaseDeploymentRepository="${REPO}" -DaltSnapshotDeploymentRepository="${REPO}"
The terminal throws:

Now, when I go to https://github.com/orgs/my-organization/packages, the package was indeed published!
And with the name of repository-name instead of repository-name.repository-name.
Why is that so? If the build failed, why is the packaged being published?
Also, what would be standard name for Maven packages on GitHub packages (especially considering these are Maven packages for a Clojure project)?
