I wanted to write an ebuild for erlyweb because I think it's cool and thought it would be proper gentoo-style to split of the dependencies into different packages. I saw that there was a bit of duplicated code and since AFAIK there's not much erlang stuff in portage I thought I'd try to help out and kickstart an eclass. Yes, I did read the warning on the eclass guide that says you're supposed to ask on the list before working on an eclass but since I need practice programming and only like programming in what I perceive to be "the right way," I went ahead and abstracted a little. I also propose a dev-erlang category. The ebuilds and eclass are in bugzilla. I tried my best to follow all howtos and the style of previous code (skel.ebuild, java-pkg-2.eclass). These packages only reflect one developer's packaging. The world of open source erlang seems to still be in its infancy and standards and compilation/installation tools seem to be lacking. That just makes the bash scripting all the more fun though =).
