CEAN 1.3 is online

Posted by Christophe Romain on 05 Jul 2007 at 01:15
The Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network is now in version 1.3. CEAN aims to be a central place to find Erlang code. It also allows to quickly install Erlang without any need of compilation time (archives available for up to 18 platforms). It includes a package search engine and performs package dependency checking. what have been done:
  • fixed most of pending issues
  • live upgrade is now working with local version checking (many thanks to Bengt Kleberg)
  • compiler added in developper version, and add erlang/include/ symlinks
  • packages upgrade, and some packages added
  • added armeb port (thanks to Brian Zhou)
  • R11B-4 upgrade for linux for all architectures
  • R11B-5 upgrade for MacOSX,Linux-x86,Windows,SunOS
  • packaged Erlang/OTP for 18 platforms
  • packaged standalone application archives (without any configuration)
  • better yaws integration (thanks to Bogdan Marinescu)
  • better erlyweb integration (thanks to Matthew Elder)
  • improved dependencies
  • runtime_tools added into base archive

future version of cean will focus on package improvement, configuration integration. as package upgrade is working, packages will be upgraded more often. patch provided by users will be applyable very quickly. yaws will work "as this" using a default repository. erlyweb as well. applications such as wings will also be working.

a matrix showing actual packages status is available here http://cean.process-one.net/matrix/ it will be upgraded as packages status will be well known. the idea is to make CEAN integrate automatic package testing to flag packages as OK or ERROR

Christophe, upgrade from 1.2 is not possible and I need to install 1.3 from scratch?

Yes, you must get 1.3. you will not must do that anymore for further relases anyway.
if you wan to keep your existing installation, you can install cean 1.3, and copy all directoryies (except cean-1.2) from your old cean1.2/erlang/lib to new cean13/erlang/lib

No green packages? Also, the layout is horrible, tons of redundant information (which platforms a package is available on) and the actual package names don’t stand out in any way.

Also, your email field doesn’t validate my email address.

i know there are lots of green packages, i just need to script the status completion (to not want to handle that myself)
this table is just given for information, i do not have time to make it kind looking by now. by the way the info on which platform a package is available on can best be seen on the detailed package information page: for each package, are listed platforms on which status is all but error and unavailable.

Hello

In Start.bat it’s possible to set the HTTP_PROXY.
How can I set the user and Password.
I just know the following notation, which does not work:
HTTP_PROXY=username:password@host:port

Do I have to build YAWS before I can start it?
How must this be done?
And how to start YAWS?

Thanks for your help

HTTP_PROXY is just of form host:port

you can use cean:proxy_user(User,Password) to live set your proxy account
cean:help(proxy_user) for more info

you do not need to build yaws
cean:install(yaws).

the only thing you need is to edit the yaws.bat/yaws.cfg files from the lib/yaws-1.68/priv dir, and copy your yaws.bat into the bin directory for example.
then start yaws using your yaws.bat.

this is actually being worked on. the fact is that i’d like green package to have successfully passed tests, that’s a bit of work…
the status matrix will be much more readable then.
