A heap of Googling and a recent thread on Erlang Questions suggests that there is little unanimity on the best way to organize and make large (multiple application) Erlang systems--- Erlang make, GNU make, Sinan, Rebar, <a href="http://erlang.mk" target="_blank">erlang.mk</a>, <a href="http://erl.mk" target="_blank">erl.mk</a>, yada, yada. Enough to give a noob a colossal headache.<br>
<br>
Two questions:<br>
<br>
1) Is this a matter of reinventing the wheel? Or are there sound technical reasons for so many options?<br>
<br>
2) Is there an emerging consensus?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
