Erlang Special Interest Group

To encourage the packaging of Erlang projects in Fedora.

Please add your name above if you want to help.

Create common guidelines for erlang-related applications and libraries
Rebuild all packages 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)
Emacs erlang mode should work out of the box. See rhbz #491165
Upgrade Erlang up to R14A in Rawhide (was released at 16 June 2010, and final version scheduled to 1st September 2010)
Upgrade CouchDB to 0.11 in Rawhide and EPEL-6 and consider updating in F-13 (and, perhaps, in F-12). No luck for EPEL-5 because of old curl.
Upgrade ejabberd in EPEL up to 2.1.4 (already in epel-testing).

Yaws - Web server for dynamic content written in Erlang. (First attempt to package it)
exmpp - a fast and scalable library for the eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol.

erlyweb
Yxa
erlang-mysql-driver - A native Erlang MySQL client library. One of the runtime dependencies for ejabberd. Please, not that there are two forks - one from P1 and another one from Yariv Sadan. All these three projects are based on the original work by Magnus Ahltorp.
erlang-fd_server. Please, note that similar functionality (binding to privileged ports) may be obtained with kernel > 2.6.24 with capabilities.
Jungerl is also contains some very interesting libraries and applications, however not all of them are in good shape.
User contributions page at trapexit contains some handy user-submitted utilities.
Nitrogen Web Framework.
egssapi - Erlang GSSAPI and SPNEGO API (one of the runtime requirements for Yaws).
eldap - Erlang LDAP API. A patched copy is bundled with ejabberd.
