1. The link you have is the most detailed one we have so far for installing from source. I'm not really familiar with gentoo packaging, but if you can package from a source file, doing a 'make rel' in the riak repository will get you a .tar.gz with the proper files included.
2. We aren't using a system-wide js library because we need it integrated into erlang as part of our erlang-js library. That library at one point in time needed to work on solaris sparc, which was a supported platform at the time. This significantly limited the number of javascipt libraries we could use. Since javascript is such a fundamental part of how we function, it is important that we test against a fixed library. Using a system wide one instead of an integrated one is currently not possible. In the future, we have plans to update our JS runtime now that there are better options out there that can run on multiple platforms, but it won't be for the 1.1 release unfortunately. 3. Riak master (https://github.com/basho/riak) has the R14B04 inclusion, but at the time of release of 1.0.2, 14B04 was not available. This is why packaged source from our downloads site will not include 14b04 and was tested only against 14b03. -Jared On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 8:23 AM, Ultrabug <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm interested in packaging riak for Gentoo Linux but I'm running in > some troubles having a clean build of riak (I'm not used to erlang > building tbh) so I'll start with a few questions if I may. > > 1/ Is there a more detailed article I failed to find about how to build > "properly" riak (I mean like choosing the target installation > directories etc) ?
