Tasks
- Create common guidelines for erlang-related applications and libraries
- 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)
- 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
- 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).

Reviews
- 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.
- erlang-gproc - Extended process registry for Erlang
- erlang-rebar - Erlang Build Tools

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.
- Riak - a Dynamo-inspired key/value store.
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.
