I haven't had a chance yet to tinker with CB and releases or relx yet. I've been tinkering with SimpleBridge lately to finish up the 2.0 branch and knock out any more bugs (along with making a test suite for it), and then updating CB to use it.
That said, I can't think of a reason why CB wouldn't work with releases - it's a pretty standard Erlang app. -Jesse On Thu, Jul 3, 2014 at 9:34 AM, David Welton <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, May 31, 2014 at 11:21 PM, Jesse Gumm <[email protected]> wrote: >> Reltool is a mysterious beast, and takes some finagling to truly tame >> it.
