rebar cookbook

This cookbook will install rebar, the build tool for Erlang.

It clones the source code from a Git repository (defaulting to Basho's canonical repo), builds the software, and then links the executable to its final location.

Requirements

• git - for fetching the source code for rebar
• erlang - for building rebar

Usage

Add rebar::default to your run list, or add include_recipe "rebar" to a recipe.

Attributes

• node[:rebar][:repository] - Git repository address to clone from. Defaults to the canonical repo from Basho.
• node[:rebar][:version] - Git tag, branch, or SHA1 to checkout.
• node[:rebar][:build_dir] - Directory the source code will be git cloned to. The default is /usr/local/src/rebar; here, the directory /usr/local/src must exist already, and the rebar directory will contain the Git checkout.
• node[:rebar][:link_to] - The full path for where you would like the rebar executable to be linked to. Defaults to /usr/local/bin/rebar
• node[:rebar][:owner] - The owner of both the source code checkout and the rebar executable.
• node[:rebar][:group] - The group of both the source code checkout

Recipes

• rebar::default - Builds rebar from source and links the executable to its desired final location.
