Hi all, I would like to start some work on my own to test how I can merge our autotool build system and rebar to provide an erlang release and distribute couchdb more easily. In refuge I consider that all the apps in src/ are standalone app and each have their own history (old couchdb history is kept) . To create a release, the make distdir collect all the deps and in one source dir and the archive is created from that source directory. At the end the created release is the same you have with couchdb and you don't need to have git installed to build it. Packages created (deb, rpm & osx) are based on this source release.
Can we do the same in the apache project ? Ie having one git repo / app ? Or do we still need to handle them in the same repo ? Just wanted to ask to know how I should handle that or at least start the integration of rebar. Let me know, - benoît
