[rabbitmq-discuss] Plugin example using Rebar to manage dependancies

[Mark DeVilliers]

Thanks Simon, Michael,

The explanation about the wrapper project and how to include it is exactly what I'm looking for. 

Thanks again,

Mark

If using the RabbitMQ build system, you need a -wrapper repository for
each external dependency. This will clone the original project, patch it
as needed and build a .ez from it. The one for webmachine is probably
the simplest: http://hg.rabbitmq.com/webmachine-wrapper/. See the
package.mk file for where most things happen.

Then the plugin using it just needs to add the -wrapper project to its
DEPS line:
