Erlang stack

finager

Hello, erlang is available on the servers but it's in version 25.
The last version 27 added a built-in module for json parsing, allowing us to reduce the number of dependencies for our project. ( https://www.erlang.org/blog/highlights-otp-27/#the-new-json-module )
I saw that erlang 27 is available in the FreeBSD ports.
https://www.freshports.org/lang/erlang-runtime27
Could you update erlang with the newer version from the ports please ?

Also, it would help me if rebar3 was available. Rebar3 is similar to cargo for rust or npm for js,
it's a project/libs/dependencies manager.
It is also available in the ports.

Thank you in advance.

finager Hello,

available Erlang versions are:

Erlang 25 (/usr/local/lib/erlang, default)
Erlang 26 (/usr/local/lib/erlang26)
Erlang 27 (/usr/local/lib/erlang27)

We added rebar3:

$ rebar3 version
rebar 3.23.0 on Erlang/OTP 25 Erts 13.2.2.9

You can also use it with newer versions:

$ env PATH=/usr/local/lib/erlang26/bin:$PATH rebar3 version
rebar 3.23.0 on Erlang/OTP 26 Erts 14.2.5

$ env PATH=/usr/local/lib/erlang27/bin:$PATH rebar3 version
rebar 3.23.0 on Erlang/OTP 27 Erts 15.0

Modify the $PATH variable to get desired version as a default.
