Erlang Special Interest Group
Mission
To support the packaging of Erlang and elixir projects in Fedora.
Coordination
- Erlang SIG Mailing list for any SIG-related discussion.
- Taiga project (= kanban board) to track what is going on.
Members/Packagers/Reviewers
Please send a mail to the erlang mailing list and add your name above if you want to help.
Tasks
This section is outdated: relevant entries should be moved to our taiga project.
- Create common guidelines for erlang
- Ensure that all packages are built with +debug_info (slightly increase the size of beam-files, but won't hurt performance at all)
- Allow parallel installation of packages (similar to kernel)
- Provide pre-built plt images
- Narrow Build Requires - only list packages which are required for building and not the whole erlang stack.
- Remove "soft" dependencies. Some package dependencies are not strictly required - application tries to "dlopen" it (it starts to use it only in case of success; in case of failure it fallbacks to some default scenario). Notable one is a debugger which tries to download GUI interface and fallbacks to cli in case of failure.
- Fix installation of jinterface - it doesn't use %{_javadir} for storing jar-file now.
- All man-pages should be marked as docs. Consider also installing them to system-default paths (very likely will produce a conflicts and namespace clashes).
- pgsql needs patching for R11B due to missing lists:keymember/3 function. Seems to be a very simple task.

Rejected packages
Jabberlang - a client Jabber library for Erlang. Obsoleted by exmpperlmedia - Erlang library for parsing different media formats. One of the requirements for erlyvideo. Abandoned by upstream authors.erlang-rtmp - Erlang RTMP library. One of the requirements for erlyvideo. Abandoned by upstream authors.erlang-fd_server. Similar functionality (binding to privileged ports) may be obtained with kernel > 2.6.24 with capabilities.
