Bitbake classes

The meta-erlang layer provides additional bitbake classes to handle and help making releases for Erlang and Elixir applications.

rebar3.bbclass​

The rebar3.bbclass exports the following environment variables:

  • REBAR3_TARGET_INCLUDE_ERTS, target include ERTS path
  • REBAR3_TARGET_SYSTEM_LIBS, target system ERTS path
  • ERLANG_ERTS, the version of ERTS

When configuring rebar3 to use the above variables, rebar3 can find the correct ERTS to make a proper release.
