Minor OTP releases (and their manpages) are not available for dowload at
http://erlang.org/download
But e.g.:
- 18.3.1 contains an important fix for mnesia
- 18.3.1-18.3.4 has a lot of SSL/TLS fixes
So we have to fetch from GitHub and build everything ourselves.
Also replace explicit path patching with upstream patches:
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1023
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1103 - with this patch it's now
possible to build erlang in sandboxed mode
This allows you to turn on debug infor for all the beam packages in the
system with a single change at the top level. This is required for
debugging and dialyzer work. It also allows you to switch it on on a
package by package basis.
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
Solution:
* Every Erlang programmer expects Hipe to be enabled; So it's now enabled by default
* Java support is very often needed, many expect it by default. So I've added top-level support for erlang-javac and erlang-javac-odbc
This puts manpages into "$out/lib/erlang/man" and also symlinks them
into "$out/share/man" with an "erl" suffix (similar to how Debian is
handling this) so those manpages are unlikely to collide with any other
manpages, like for example inet(3).
Closes#3396.
