#37357: erlang: make binary distributable
-------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: ciserlohn@… | Owner: bfulgham@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2
Keywords: haspatch | Port: erlang
-------------------------+------------------------
Erlang is currently not distributable in binary form:
{{{
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang
dependency 'gdbm' has license 'GPL-3+' which conflicts with license 'MPL'
from 'erlang'
}}}
gdbm is a dependency of perl wich is only needed at build time. Using the
'license_noconflict' (see the attached patch) keyword erlang would be
distributable:
{{{
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang
erlang is distributabl
}}}
Or, as mentioned here http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
dev/2012-December/021280.html the dependency on perl could be dropped
altogether.
