OK I have started the work to make couchdb an OTP implementation. Work is done here :
https://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/tree/otp For now the branch doesn't build, only the configure step pass. It also doesn't support embedding in other OTP applications yet. https://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/compare/master...otp What is done: - integration of rebar - better detection of Erlang using m4 macros - couch_index, couch & couch_replicator are now full OTP applications with their own supervision - couch_mrview has been rebarified - Layout of the code is quite similar to the current one : - now src/ contains full OTP applications. - dependencies have also been removed from the source. A mechanism similar to the one in rcouch will be added to fetch the dependencies before creating the source tarball that will be distributed. - couchdb has been renamed couch as it should have aways been. - couch_db.hrl is now in the include/ folder of the couch application - couchdb find etc filess first in the release first. So a couchdb release could be relocatable. Of course this can be overridden easily. TODO: - Integrate rebar to the build, and build C code. - Add needed changes to create the final OTP release (add reltools, edit templates) Btw do we need to support all spidermonkey versions? - benoît
