This port is indented for developers and port maintainers. It is a copy of lang/erlang with a few differences: - Nothing is installed in $PREFIX/bin - Libraries are installed in $PREFIX/lib/erlang15 - You have to change your PATH to actually use it - Support for building PLTs is removed - Other ports are not supposed to install anything inside this environment What is this for: - Building Erlang applications using the R15 runtime, once R16 is committed (think Riak). - Building Erlang applications when there are conflicts with modules provided by other ports (for example, the RabbitMQ client libraries conflict with the server code installed by net/rabbitmq). - Testing new Erlang versions before the main port is upgraded.

Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft
|
|
real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its
|
|
uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and
|
|
instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for
|
|
concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance.
|
|
|
|
This port contains a standalone runtime environment of Erlang R15
|
|
to be used during the development of OTP applications.
