1 I wanted to write an ebuild for erlyweb because I think it's cool and
2 thought it would be proper gentoo-style to split of the dependencies
3 into different packages. I saw that there was a bit of duplicated code
4 and since AFAIK there's not much erlang stuff in portage I thought I'd
5 try to help out and kickstart an eclass. Yes, I did read the warning
6 on the eclass guide that says you're supposed to ask on the list
7 before working on an eclass but since I need practice programming and
8 only like programming in what I perceive to be "the right way," I went
9 ahead and abstracted a little. I also propose a dev-erlang category.
10 The ebuilds and eclass are in bugzilla. I tried my best to follow all
11 howtos and the style of previous code (skel.ebuild,
12 java-pkg-2.eclass). These packages only reflect one developer's
13 packaging. The world of open source erlang seems to still be in its
14 infancy and standards and compilation/installation tools seem to be
15 lacking. That just makes the bash scripting all the more fun though
16 =).
