[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitMQ redistribution with minimal ERLANG files....

Fri Feb 3 20:33:45 GMT 2012

Hi, Philippe:

I'd be reluctant to try to cut too much out of the Erlang lib directory,
and anything out of the bin directory.  The environment can be pretty lazy
about when it loads things and you don't want your apps to be discovering
well into their runtime that some critical module is missing...

Best regards,
Jerry

hello jerry,

I did recompile Erlang/OTP without too much pain.  what should I keep as
redistributable?  would the /bootstrap be enough for rabbitMQ or do I
need /bin and the complete /lib (seems to contain a lot of stuff, among
which source and intermediate files....)
