.plan site for LFE projects

[Duncan McGreggor]

Hey all,

Before it got blasted out on the Planum Twittereum, I wanted to mention it here on the list. In short, we've got a new community-driven site for various hacking projects:
 * http://plan.lfe.io/

This serves a few purposes:

* So that individuals have single place to not loose track of the projects they're working on (with the understanding being that open source work can often span large gaps of non-working time where it's easy to forget what we were doing before the gaps...)

* So others in the community know the fun things each of us is working on

* For community members who want to contribute to an LFE project when they have a spare moment -- the .plan site providing a quick glance at the available projects that are getting the most attention

* For new LFE hackers who want to volunteer their services to a project, and otherwise wouldn't  know where to begin (this would also be a great resource for hackdays and even internships, if your company is using any of the mentioned projects/libraries).

If you'd like to get your projects/TODOs/etc. up on the LFE .plan site, you can either ping me directly by email, or submit a PR to this project:
  * https://github.com/lfex/plan

Don't be shy, either -- entries can be anything from LFE feature requests to new languages inspired by LFE, from a list of things you want to learn to a list of your LFE libraries currently under development.

Happy New year, everyone!

I love (and needed) this! It popped up in my GitHub feed earlier, so I've already made a few PRs.

Thank you very much, Duncan. And happy new year to you and the rest of the community!

And I have pulled them.

I'm so glad, Eric!

I've just tweeted it to spread the word to those who might find it useful or missed this thread ...

If I may suggest something, one should try to improve basic / getting started docs. For now *none* of official getting-started works out of the box on Fedora 22. rebar from system package installs lfe0.9 and therefore a lot of things are broken. Then obviously lfe cannot continue, because it crashes. Etc.

 

Same applies for lfetool install lfe which links /usr/bin/lfe to /tmp/lfe/bin/lfe, which is also not good :)

Oh dear, that's distressing. We've had reports of this in the past, which is one of the driving reasons behind the CentOS and Fedors Docker images:
 * https://hub.docker.com/r/lfex/centos/
 * https://hub.docker.com/r/lfex/fedora/

Have you tried them?

Those are defined in the Dockerfiles here:
 * https://github.com/lfex/dockerfiles/blob/master/centos/Dockerfile
 * https://github.com/lfex/dockerfiles/blob/master/fedora/Dockerfile

The only systems with which I have tried running through the getting-started guides are Ubuntu, Debian, Mac OS X, Windows, and (a while ago) Free/DragonflyBSD.

Sounds like, while some systems have a painless LFE install experience, others could benefit from an actual "install guide" (Windows for sure, and it sounds like Red Hat-derrived systems too; some *BSDs are less than easy ...).

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up! I'll update my .plan file to include wider system support in the getting-started guides.

In the meantime, I hope that some of the links above may help you out (and others who come across this message via Google searches ...)

Hey,

 

In those images rebar is *not* installed from repository but it's "just" downloaded as binary file. Fedora that I tested was vanilla fedora with vanilla repos (not even erlangsolutions repo added)

I will try to find some time and go through "guides" and find more problems (no promises though, permanent lack of time)

I agree there are improvements to be made to the build system/Makefile
in order to provide a better out-of-the-box experience. I've been
hitting similar issues in the past, both in FreeBSD and Fedora
GNU/Linux.

I'll try to find some time this weekend to play with it and try to use
rebar3 for compilation and installation. I will also try to solve the
bootstrapping issue that the current build system has.

@everyone we would need to discuss this before v1.0 is out :)

lfetool is another story, but I also agree we should start the roadmap
for updating all the documentation and point to up-to-date tooling
instead. What I mean is that lfetool is heading to a new rebar3 plugin
system.

[Duncan McGreggor]

Awesome -- thanks!

(also, that sort of update is perfect for a .plan, *wink* *wink* ...)
