Thank you, Michael, I'll give that a try.

Regards,

You could use the reltool.config file as a way of understanding how you can modify your own reltool.config file.  The nodefinder applications are the exception, since they are not listed as dependencies within the application file, but are included within the release, since their usage is based on configuration values.  So look at https://github.com/okeuday/CloudI/blob/master/src/reltool.config.in for more details about how the CloudI dependencies are included.  That particular reltool.config is a bit explicit, but if you were using "{incl_cond, derived}, {mod_cond, derived}" within your reltool.config file, providing the cloudi_core dependency to include would be enough for reltool to find all the other dependencies, except the nodefinder applications (so the nodefinder applications can be listed separately, as shown).  I will create a sample application that includes CloudI for the next release to help make this clearer as an example.

You do have the option of using the cpg module in a separate Erlang VM connected with distributed Erlang using the same cookie to communicate with CloudI services, but that approach doesn't utilize the CloudI API, so it is a bit awkward and lacks the benefits of using CloudI.
