The 0.7 changelog includes the item: “Use Gradle native dependency model, allowing to use .klib as Maven artifacts”
Does this mean I can publish a klib to a repository like jitpack or bintray and consume it in another project? If so, how can I configure this via the gradle plugin?

[msink]

AFAIK for now bintray gradle plugin does not support this model, pull request is still open: https://github.com/bintray/gradle-bintray-plugin/pull/230
For local repository here is sample in samples/libcurl and samples/curl

[olonho]

Yes, it is possible, but only using patched Bintray plugin build

[olonho]

smth like

buildscript {
  repositories {
   mavenCentral()
   maven {
      url "<https://dl.bintray.com/jetbrains/kotlin-native-dependencies>"
   }
   dependencies {
       classpath "com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.8.1-SNAPSHOT"
   }
}

publishing {
    repositories {
        maven {
           url = '<https://dl.bintray.com/sample/sample-url-repo>'
        }
    }
}
...

apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.bintray'

bintray {
   user = project.hasProperty('bintrayUser') ? project.property('bintrayUser') : System.getenv('BINTRAY_USER')
   key = project.hasProperty('bintrayApiKey') ? project.property('bintrayApiKey') : System.getenv('BINTRAY_API_KEY')
   pkg {
       userOrg = 'sample'
       repo = 'sample-url-repo'
       name = 'repo-name'
       version {
           name = project.version
           vcsTag = project.version
           released  = new Date()
       }
   }
}

bintrayUpload.doFirst {
   publications = project.publishing.publications
}

[russhwolf]

What about consuming it? How do I point a kotlin-native module at a remote repo? The useRepo property in the libraries block only seems to allow local paths.

You can take a look how it is done in https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/json_ast/json/README.md

[russhwolf]

Ok yeah that helps. I didn’t realize you could add a dependencies block inside of an artifact in konanArtifacts. I think that’s missing from the documentation at https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/GRADLE_PLUGIN.md which only mentions expectedBy dependencies

[russhwolf]

So looking at https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/blob/json_ast/example-native/build.gradle is the syntax artifactxxx where xxx is the artifact name? or is artifactsample a standard syntax?

[msink]

It's name of the program prefixed by artifact

konanArtifacts {
    program('Curl') {
        dependsOn ':libcurl:publish'
        dependencies {
            artifactCurl 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.native:libcurl:1.0'
        }
    }
}
