Description Vincent de Phily 2012-09-13 09:18:09 UTC 
The current erlang ebuild uses sed to add "-smp" to the wrapper script /usr/bin/erl. This was added to fix bug #188858 (the comment in the ebuild points to the wrong bug).

This hack is broken in the (not-yet packaged by gentoo) R15B02 release because upstream added quotes around the executable name so that "-smp" ends up part of the executable name.

Rather than fixing the regexp, I suggest removing it altogether: upstream has fixed its behaviour and the hack is no longer needed.

Oh wait. That's not a duplicate.

I confirm this does not seem to be needed anymore.
