#37357 closed enhancement

erlang: make binary distributable — at Version 1

Reported by: ci42 Owned by: bfulgham@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.2
Keywords: haspatch Cc:
Port: erlang

Description (last modified by ci42)

Erlang is currently not distributable in binary form:

$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang
dependency 'gdbm' has license 'GPL-3+' which conflicts with license 'MPL' from 'erlang'

gdbm is a dependency of perl wich is only needed at build time. Using the 'license_noconflict' (see the attached patch) keyword erlang would be distributable:

$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang
erlang is distributable

Or, as mentioned here http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-December/021280.html the dependency on perl could be dropped altogether.
