Upstream's opinion (as seen at http://svn.process-one.net/ejabberd/trunk/README revision 2040) is that eJabberd needs Erlang >= R10B-9 and < R13. ejabberd-2.0.5-r1.ebuild currently says >=dev-lang/erlang-11.2.5. It should at least also say <dev-lang/erlang-13. Trying to run ejabberd-2.0.5-r1 on erlang-13 gives the following error: root@nukapai ~ # /usr/sbin/ejabberd Erlang R13B (erts-5.7.1) [source] [rq:1] [async-threads:0] Eshell V5.7.1 (abort with ^G) (ejabberd@nukapai)1> =INFO REPORT==== 26-Apr-2009::12:59:15 === application: ejabberd exited: {bad_return, {{ejabberd_app,start,[normal,[]]}, {'EXIT', {{case_clause, {error, {request, {get_until,unicode,[],erl_scan,tokens, [1]}}}}, [{epp_dodger,parse_form,4}, {epp_dodger,parse,5}, {ejabberd_loglevel,compile_string,2}, {ejabberd_loglevel,set,1}, {ejabberd_app,start,2}, {application_master,start_it_old,4}]}}}} type: temporary BREAK: (a)bort (c)ontinue (p)roc info (i)nfo (l)oaded (v)ersion (k)ill (D)b-tables (d)istribution a root@nukapai ~ # Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.2_rc31 (hardened/x86, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.28-hardened-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-hardened-r7-i686-AMD_Athlon-tm-_Processor-with-gentoo-2.0.0 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 02:45:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p17-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2, 2.6.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.9 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.28-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-ggdb -march=athlon -O2 -pipe -fweb -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-ggdb -march=athlon -O2 -pipe -fweb -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical" FEATURES="buildpkg ccache distlocks fixpackages nostrip parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.gentoo.se http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow aac alsa bash-completion berkdb cracklib crypt emacs flac hardened idn ipv6 logrotate midi mmx mp3 nis nls nptl nptlonly ogg pam pic readline sasl ssl tcpd unicode urandom vorbis x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i740 i810 imstt intel mach64 mga neomagic nsc nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
with the recent ejabberd update and a past upgrade to erlang 13, I run into this to. should be critical as the programm-script runs normal but no connections are possible. so fats fix needed or masking erlang 13. It is slotable to have version 12 and 13?
Upstream has a bug (with patches) for Erlang R13 compatibility: https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-919
caleb, will you handle this? I want to request stabilisation of Erlang 13 soon, so this should be fixed.
I removed stale versions and added a <dev-lang/erlang-13 to 2.0.4 and 2.0.5-r2. I think this satisfies the needs of the bug, but let me know if something else needs done.

The patches mentioned in comment 2 can be worth a look. A stable Erlang 13 together with ejabberd will lead to a up-/downgrade cycle.
I agree, I just hope someone else can test/patch it as I'm not running 13 on any of my systems at the moment to get a good idea of what works.
(In reply to comment #6) > I agree, I just hope someone else can test/patch it as I'm not running 13 on > any of my systems at the moment to get a good idea of what works. Karl, jamatik: It would be great if any of you could do those tests. I would like to know if the patches work well with 12 and 13.
Created attachment 192256 [details, diff] patch to make ejabberd work with erlang 13 modifed patch tested with erlang 12 and 13 (removing of now unused file ram_file_io_server.erl didn't work, so put a rm-line into the ebuild) ebuild-diff follows
Created attachment 192258 [details] Ebuild-diff from r2 to r3 to work with the patch
I applied those patches, looks all fine. Thanks for your support, we appreciate it. Caleb, I will call for stabilisation of Erlang 13 in one months time as long as there is no bugfix for release for it. Is it ok for you to target ejabberd 2.0.5-r3 for stabilisation, too?
yep, we can stabilize at the same time - that's fine with me.
Using net-im/ejabberd-2.0.5-r3: Error in process <0.270.0> on node 'ejabberd@<host>' with exit value: {badarg,[{erlang,register,[asn1_driver_owner,<0.270.0>]},{asn1rt_driver_handler,init,2}]}

Note that before the erlang version bump, the ejabberd.log was empty, which means that the error did not occur before.

You can quickpkg Erlang 13 to quickly go back to that version.

Meanwhile there was another error which neither seemed critical (services still up and running), but which may be related to Erlang 13: =ERROR REPORT==== 2009-06-05 16:37:35 === ** Generic server <0.4319.0> terminating ** Last message in was {tcp,#Port<0.9550>, <<23,3,1,0,32,67,111,167,30,180,179,132,28,42,112, 177,191,249,74,130,182,114,182,34,26,76,188,120, 113,48,179,69,27,116,124,46,196,23,3,1,1,176, 145,165,67,98,115,233,195,214,63,179,207,88,60, 45,202,228,76,209,199,202,212,76,222,169,155,8, 216,206,30,171,207,113,231,103,50,22,103,177, 114,63,152,109,250,149,211,238,28,172,66,84,238, 138,9,156,169,222,67,167,47,49,136,149,90,22, 231,32,240,81,56,45,157,50,201,143,32,196,109, 154,243,155,145,217,26,19,102,9,136,100,199,28, 171,143,29,22,124,103,252,211,155,24,184,163, 190,159,186,73,201,123,107,44,4,31,51,192,25, 148,8,26,162,142,156,228,243,63,130,74,201,87, 100,147,42,175,181,170,60,71,210,42,202,141,166, 36,227,37,137,110,77,21,188,163,6,109,18,13,249, 112,18,92,103,134,52,55,136,131,97,156,204,8, 251,100,142,96,142,94,158,95,242,208,67,0,145, 197,110,30,250,133,191,178,194,51,104,184,3,132, 229,208,200,37,210,214,243,107,126,61,114,30, 236,19,18,39,56,196,40,159,123,225,228,138,41, 69,52,2,136,158,244,104,167,239,40,192,218,210, 203,219,34,238,253,167,127,187,181,98,67,210,63, 93,160,96,237,202,40,44,153,85,137,1,120,41,34, 49,103,12,80,162,212,217,77,167,226,58,197,215, 105,12,75,22,28,197,81,239,53,166,123,208,136, 231,210,39,236,201,132,248,112,190,155,128,6, 165,220,8,248,125,128,38,147,8,166,249,188,24, 193,33,14,213,140,237,179,57,27,22,216,246,172, 65,27,164,193,59,49,234,101,128,60,122,108,172, 128,111,194,60,38,52,38,216,0,155,236,38,1,199, 118,235,123,144,139,137,90,58,20,197,102,255,85, 166,18,37,54,96,144,130,156,139,30,232,150,250, 159,124,86,184,89,11,56,129,35,204,175,84,180, 53,162,153,175,247,133,253,53,117,249,32,150, 200,56,89,20,167,227,152,228,167,95,2,0,41,246, 23,9,32,191,63,144,251,194,154,242,161,190,156, 255,160,194,0>>} ** When Server state == {state, {tlssock,#Port<0.9550>,#Port<0.9552>}, tls, {maxrate,50000,115.99834494472725, 1244212055753605}, <0.4320.0>,131072, {xml_stream_state,<0.4320.0>,#Port<0.9553>, [{xmlelement,"stream:stream", [{"xmlns:stream", "http://etherx.jabber.org/streams"}, {"xmlns","jabber:server"}, {"xmlns:db","jabber:server:dialback"}, {"to","kynes.de"}, {"version","1.0"}], []}], 0,131072}, infinity} ** Reason for termination == ** {badarg,[{erlang,port_control, [#Port<0.9552>,3, <<23,3,1,0,32,67,111,167,30,180,179,132,28,42,112,177, 191,249,74,130,182,114,182,34,26,76,188,120,113,48, 179,69,27,116,124,46,196,23,3,1,1,176,145,165,67,98, 115,233,195,214,63,179,207,88,60,45,202,228,76,209, 199,202,212,76,222,169,155,8,216,206,30,171,207,113, 231,103,50,22,103,177,114,63,152,109,250,149,211,238, 28,172,66,84,238,138,9,156,169,222,67,167,47,49,136, 149,90,22,231,32,240,81,56,45,157,50,201,143,32,196, 109,154,243,155,145,217,26,19,102,9,136,100,199,28, 171,143,29,22,124,103,252,211,155,24,184,163,190,159, 186,73,201,123,107,44,4,31,51,192,25,148,8,26,162,142, 156,228,243,63,130,74,201,87,100,147,42,175,181,170, 60,71,210,42,202,141,166,36,227,37,137,110,77,21,188, 163,6,109,18,13,249,112,18,92,103,134,52,55,136,131, 97,156,204,8,251,100,142,96,142,94,158,95,242,208,67, 0,145,197,110,30,250,133,191,178,194,51,104,184,3,132, 229,208,200,37,210,214,243,107,126,61,114,30,236,19, 18,39,56,196,40,159,123,225,228,138,41,69,52,2,136, 158,244,104,167,239,40,192,218,210,203,219,34,238,253, 167,127,187,181,98,67,210,63,93,160,96,237,202,40,44, 153,85,137,1,120,41,34,49,103,12,80,162,212,217,77, 167,226,58,197,215,105,12,75,22,28,197,81,239,53,166, 123,208,136,231,210,39,236,201,132,248,112,190,155, 128,6,165,220,8,248,125,128,38,147,8,166,249,188,24, 193,33,14,213,140,237,179,57,27,22,216,246,172,65,27, 164,193,59,49,234,101,128,60,122,108,172,128,111,194, 60,38,52,38,216,0,155,236,38,1,199,118,235,123,144, 139,137,90,58,20,197,102,255,85,166,18,37,54,96,144, 130,156,139,30,232,150,250,159,124,86,184,89,11,56, 129,35,204,175,84,180,53,162,153,175,247,133,253,53, 117,249,32,150,200,56,89,20,167,227,152,228,167,95,2, 0,41,246,23,9,32,191,63,144,251,194,154,242,161,190, 156,255,160,194,0>>]}, {tls,recv_data,2}, {ejabberd_receiver,handle_info,2}, {gen_server,handle_msg,5}, {proc_lib,wake_up,3}]}
