Mission

To encourage the packaging of Erlang projects in Fedora.

Please add your name above if you want to help.

Tasks

  • 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)
  • Update CouchDB in EL-5 / F-12 / F-13 up to 0.11.x.
  • Retire compat-erlang in Rawhide. Would it be better to update it to R12 or R13?
  • Wings3D is heavily broken now in all repositories. This issue urgently needs fix.
  • Provide pre-built plt images

Reviews

Potential packages

  • 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.
