Package: erlang-cowboy Version: 0.8.6+dfsg1-1 X-Debbugs-CC: packag...@rabbitmq.com
The package "erlang-cowboy" installs a specific version of Cowboy (currently 0.8.6) into the system-wide OTP directory.
This means that any Erlang application gets that version of Cowboy in preference to any other it might have installed, probably breaking it. RabbitMQ's web stomp plugin is an example of such an application.
This is a bad idea for any Erlang library, and it's a particularly bad idea for Cowboy as it has a rather fast-moving API.
