A completely revised port of the Erlang programming language is available at
http://www.snortdroid.com/DroidOS/erlang_otp_R10B-3_port.tgz
This port is several revisions past what is currently in the OpenBSD
/usr/ports tree.
This port has only been changed to allow it to properly build under
OpenBSD current (3.7)
IT HAS NOT been audited with regards to security. In particular there
are numerous uses
of sprintf and vsprintf in the code. As a consequence, be very careful
using Erlang in situations
where the security of the system could be compromised by un guarded input.
I am offering this to the community so that people who use Erlang have a
modern version to
run on OpenBSD. I am currently working on a port of R10B-4 which will
be more in alignment
with the security standards that OpenBSD is known for. Until that
release, ( a few weeks out) please use
this version as a "beta", and realize that there are a lot of potential
security holes. If there are no objections,
I have listed myself as the maintainer of this port.
