The problem with deployment on Erlang, as I see it, is that it is not possible<br>to add new applications to releases, and that they all have to go into the<br>erlang root library. It would be nice if Erlang could have a secondary
<br>library path that was searched too, meaning that you could deploy applications<br>in an own library without having to do code:add_path{a,z} for everyone of<br>them. And making it easy to upgrade your Erlang base system without affecting
<br>your own additions.</blockquote><div><br>I have to say that I don't find the use of .erlang too terribly onerous for doing the add_path work.<br>In spirit it's kind of like the venerable .cshrc|autoexec.bat|<your_own_choice>|...
