[erlang-questions] Release handler seems to be not starting some applications

[Dmitry Demeshchuk]

Hi, everyone.

I've been checking rebar and releases mechanisms and noticed an odd thing.

First, I created a dummy release and started it. After that, I added some
applications to it, generated a release upgrade and installed it.
Surprisingly, some applications haven't started, compiler and lager to be
precise.

Basically, here was the initial list of applications in reltool.config:

         kernel,
         stdlib,
         rels

and here's the one after my upgrade:

         kernel,
         stdlib,
         riak_err,
         compiler,
         syntax_tools,
         lager,
         rels

No errors, no warnings, compiler and lager just silently fail to start,
though their starting instructions do exist in relup. Tried to start them
manually – works like a charm.

Here's a short exapmle: https://github.com/doubleyou/rels
To reproduce, switch to the initial commit, build, generate release. Then
switch to the second commit, build, generate release upgrade, install.


Any suggestions?
