CEAN 1.3 is online

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
