2012-09-17[reltool] Keep order from rel spec when sorting used and included applicationsSiri Hansen
The rel specification now dictates the order in which included and used applications are loaded/started by the boot file. If the applications are not specified in the rel spec, then the order from the .app file is used. This was a bug earlier reported on systools, and is now also implemented in reltool. Example: If a .app file specified {applications,[x,y]} {included_applications,[b,c]} And the reltool.config has {rel, "myrel", "1.0", [a,y,x,c,b]} Then the boot file will load/start y before x and c before b. Earlier x would always be started before y and b always before c due to the order in the .app file.
2012-09-14[reltool] Automatically add included applications in rel fileSiri Hansen
If a 'rel' spec in the reltool config does not contain all applications that are listed as {applications,Applications} in a .app file, then these applications are autmatically added when creating the .rel file. For 'included_applications', the behaviour was not the same. I.e. if a 'rel' spec in the reltool config did not contain all applications that are listed as {included_applications,InclApplications} in a .app file, then reltool would fail with reason "Undefined applications" when creating the .rel file. This has been corrected, so both 'applications' and 'included_applications' are now automatically added if not already in the 'rel' spec. I.e. for an application 'z', if z.app contains {applications,[stdlib,kernel,x]} {included_applications,[y]} then reltool configuration {rel, "myrel", "1.0", [z]} will cause the same .rel file as {rel, "myrel", "1.0", [stdlib,kernel,x,y,z]}
2012-09-12[reltool] Make reltool:install/2 work on windowsSiri Hansen
The erl.ini file generated by reltool:install/2 faulty pointed out $ROOT/bin as Bindir. This is now changed to $ROOT/erts-Vsn/bin. Also, backslashes in erl.ini needed to be escaped.
2012-08-20[reltool] Add option {excl_lib,otp_root}Siri Hansen
With this option reltool will create a target structure with only the applications found in specified 'lib_dirs' (on system level) or 'lib_dir' (on app level). Erts will not be included, and no applications found under $OTP_ROOT/lib.

2012-03-22[reltool] Add configuration parameter lib_dir on application levelSiri Hansen
As a way of specifying one specific version of an application, the following configuration parameter is added on application level: {lib_dir,Dir}, Dir = string() This can be useful if the parent directory of the application directory is not suitable to use as a lib dir on system level.
2012-03-19[reltool] Fix problems with sorting of applicationsSiri Hansen
OTP-9792 The following problems have been solved: * reltool_target:do_merge_apps - in recursive calls to this function, the accumulator was reverted each time causing the order of applications listed after kernel and stdlib in the rel specification in the configuration to sometimes be messed up. * There are several ways to specify wich applications to include in an application: 1) in the .app file for the including applications 2a) in the .rel file, when listing applications 2b) in the rel specification in the reltool configuration 2a (systools) and 2b (reltool) should have the same effect and overwrite 1. According to the documentation of systools (sasl), the default value in 2a is an empty list. This should mean that if included applications are not mentioned in the .rel file, then any included application listed in the .app file will be disregarded. This is NOT the way systools actually works. The implementation sets the default for the .rel file to the same list as in the .app file. Reltool earlier implemented 2b as described in the systools documentation. However, after some discussion we decided to change this so that reltool handles 2b in the same way as systools handles 2a since this seems more intuitive. The sasl documentation will be altered accordingly (internal ref OTP-9980). * If the rel specification in the reltool configuration explicitly specified included applications to be an empty list, and the .app file had a non-empty list, then the empty list from the rel specification was discarded. This has been corrected so the rel specification now, if set, always overwrites the value of included_applications in the .app file. * reltool would earlier add load instructions in the script/boot files for ALL modules in the ebin directory of an application even if mod_cond was set to app (include only modules listed in the .app file). This has been corrected - now only modules with #mod.is_included==true are loaded. * reltool would earlier add start instructions in the script/boot file for included applications. This has been corrected - included applications shall only be loaded since the including application is responsible for starting them.
2012-03-19[reltool] Link together escript with inlined applicationSiri Hansen
OTP-9968 Make sure that inlined applications in an escript is included/excluded as the escript itself, and forbid explicit configuration of the inlined application.
2012-01-13Avoid creating an undefined start_phases entry when generating a releaseJuan Jose Comellas
When a release is generated and the applications in the release do not define a value for the start_phases entry of their .app files, reltool will generate the following entry in the .app files of the release: {start_phases, undefined} If this happens, when trying to create a release upgrade systools will fail because it doesn't allow the start_phases entry to be set to undefined. This patch avoids this situation by not generating a start_phases entry when it is set to undefined.

2010-04-19Introduced a new embedded_app_type optionHåkan Mattsson
It is for embedded systems where all included applications must be loaded from the boot script. If embedded_app_type is set to something else than undefined all included applications will be included in both the "rel" as well as in the "script".

Applications that are required to be started before other applications according to their app-file are now automatically included in the release. The kernel and stdlib applications are automatically included.
