Summary

Improve Erlang software integration with the rest of Fedora.

Owner

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 21
  • Last updated: 2014-03-23
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

  • Enable fine grained EC crypto support by upgrading Erlang to the latest R17.
  • Enable systemd support by merging patches from Matwey V. Kornilov
  • Fix the long-standing noarch issue by providing additional default location for Erlang bytecode data.
  • Split-off infrequently used modules which requires X11, Pulseaudio and ensure that it won't break anything.

Benefit to Fedora

  • Users will get some EC support. We still can't enable EC fully but at least we will enable some EC curves.
  • Users will have less issues caused by poor systemd and epmd integration (lost node names etc).
  • Packagers won't see scary rpmlint messages regarding marking arch-independent package as arch-dependent one.
  • Users won't have to install X11-related libraries if they don't want to.
