This page is a historical document about the splitting of the old "monolithic" contrib in the Clojure 1.2 timeframe when many of the initial contrib libraries were created. This info is no longer maintained and may be out of date. See Contrib Libs for up to date info.
If a clojure.contrib namespace is listed here but has no migration details, that means no one has volunteered to maintain that namespace. Part of the rationale for modular contrib is that there should be an active maintainer going forward so that the library can be kept compatible with new versions of Clojure. All the new modular contrib libraries are compatible with Clojure 1.2.0 thru 1.4.0 (and are also being automatically tested with Clojure 1.5 as it is being developed - as well as being tested with a number of different JDKs!).
If a clojure.contrib namespace is not listed here, it is most likely an old namespace that was either migrated somewhere else or deprecated as part of Clojure 1.2 (e.g., clojure.contrib.duck-streams mostly migrated to clojure.java.io, clojure.contrib.pprint migrated to clojure.pprint, clojure.contrib.shell and clojure.contrib.shell-out migrated to clojure.java.shell, clojure.contrib.string migrated to clojure.string, clojure.contrib.http.agent was deprecated - clj-http.
This section aims to document how to migrate from "old" contrib to "new" contrib.
clojure.contrib.accumulators
clojure.contrib.agent-utils
clojure.contrib.base64
Replaced by clojure.data.codec - lead Alex Taggart.
clojure.contrib.classpath
Migrated to clojure.java.classpath - lead Alessandra Sierra.
clojure.contrib.combinatorics
Migrated to clojure.math.combinatorics - lead Mark Engelberg.
clojure.contrib.command-line
Replaced by clojure.tools.cli (based on the clargon library) - lead Gareth Jones.
clojure.contrib.complete
clojure.contrib.complex-numbers
clojure.contrib.cond
clojure.contrib.condition
Replaced by Slingshot - Lead Steve Gilardi
clojure.contrib.core
Partly migrated to clojure.core.incubator - lead Rich Hickey.
clojure.contrib.dataflow
clojure.contrib.datalog
Michael Fogus has a project bacwn on Github based on this library.
clojure.contrib.def

Notes:
defvar: as of Clojure 1.3, you can specify a docstring in a def form: (def my-var "This is my docstring" some-value)

clojure.contrib.profile
clojure.contrib.prxml
clojure.contrib.reflect
clojure.contrib.repl-ln
clojure.contrib.repl-utils
Migrated to clojure.repl and clojure.java.javadoc. show functionality similar to clojure.reflect/reflect. Any equivalents for these? expression-info, run, run*
clojure.contrib.seq
clojure.contrib.server-socket
clojure.contrib.set
Migrated to clojure.set, except proper-subset? and proper-superset?, which are easily implemented using subset? and superset?
