Add skip_deps=AppListSeparatedByCommas feature.
I agree it's a bit of a weird thing, but it's a reasonable and safe extension. When time comes to properly overhaul stuff, skip_deps should disappear entirely.
Introduce a new 'raw' option for dependency specs in rebar.config file.
For example:
{deps,
{dependency_name, "1.0.*",
{git, "<...>", {branch, "master"}},
[raw]
}
]}.
When this option is specified, rebar does not require the dependency to
have a standard Erlang/OTP layout which assumes presence of either
"src/dependency_name.app.src" or "ebin/dependency_name.app" files.
'raw' dependencies can still contain 'rebar.config' and even can have
the proper OTP directory layout, but they won't be compiled.
Only a subset of rebar commands will be executed on the 'raw'
subdirectories:
get-deps, update-deps, check-deps, list-deps and delete-deps.
This patch modifies rebar_core to allow plugins to participate in the
pre and post processing steps, giving plugin authors more flexibility
and control.
Export two extra environment variables when executing shell commands.
These variables are useful for rebar hooks that rely on Erlang
applications installed as rebar dependencies.
$REBAR_DEPS_DIR contains a fully-qualified name of the directory where
rebar stores dependencies.
$ERL_LIBS is set to $REBAR_DEPS_DIR or to "$REBAR_DEPS_DIR:$ERL_LIBS",
if $ERL_LIBS was defined before.
In git origin/HEAD is a pointer to the default branch. This patch
allows two alternatives to explicitly specifying "HEAD" in git VC specs.
The first is a 2 arity form {git, Url} and the second is {git, Url, ""}
which worked in pre-update-deps rebars.
The previous fix to relax the regex was insufficient.
This is basically the diff proposed by Bryan Fink with
the difference of using 'C' instead of 'en_US'.
