AssemblyUtils.sourceOfFileForMerge no longer public

[kshakir]

In the 1.0.0 README.md it says:

Custom MergeStrategys can find out where a particular file comes
from using the sourceOfFileForMerge method on sbtassembly.AssemblyUtils

But as of #433 sbtassembly.AssemblyUtils is no longer public leading to:

object AssemblyUtils in package sbtassembly cannot be accessed in package sbtassembly

• Is AssemblyUtils meant to be private?
• Is there a replacement for sourceOfFileForMerge?
• Should the README be updated?

Yea. Sorry about that. I did mean to make it private, but didn't think it would have negative impact. We can expose the function somehow.

i ran into this too. we use sourceOfFileForMerge in a custom MergeStrategy as well. maybe have MergeStrategy.sourceOfFileForMerge?

Also encountered this and ended up making a copy of it within my project.

Is there a variant of sourceOfFileForMerge that still works? It looks like the code has been completely deleted now.

By usecase is that I have a multiproject build and I'm trying to figure out which project produced a class file but nothing in Project dependency seems useful for that. The name just points to the root project.
