Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-erlang (Nobody) <erlang@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 264046: lang/elixir-devel: doesn't produce self-contained mix releases https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D264046 --- Description --- Problem: lang/elixir-devel produces mix releases that require an Erlang run= time to be installed. This occurs because it patches the `elixir` startup script= to replace ERTS_BIN. It specifies a path that's hard-coded to a file in the lang/erlang-runtime* that was used to build elixir, as described in https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-erlang/2022-May/000629.html --- Goal: Build a mix release, and then run it on a FreeBSD system with no Erla= ng or Elixir runtime. >From mix release docs: https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Release.html#module-why-releases > Self-contained. A release does not require the source code to be included= in your production artifacts. All of the code is precompiled and packaged. Releases do not even require Erlang or Elixir in your servers, as it includ= es the Erlang VM and its runtime by default. Furthermore, both Erlang and Elix= ir standard libraries are stripped to bring only the parts you are actually us= ing. In other words, you should be able to: pkg install -y elixir-devel mix new my_app cd my_app && mix release pkg remove -y elixir-devel pkg autoremove -y ./_build/dev/rel/my_app/bin/my_app start_iex --- What happens: `exec: /usr/local/lib/erlang24/bin/erl: not found` What should happen: an IEX console
