Need advice on porting an Erlang application (Zotonic CMS)

[Marc van Woerkom]

Hi Matthew,

thanks for the advice.

I already looked into some of the other erlang ports, to see how the
other guys did it and got some insight, probably not enough. :-)

ejabberd seems to be an easier case, but it does interesting things in
its pkg-plist file, which I need to look at and understand.

So far I think I end up with something similar to database/riak.

Regards,
Marc

Take a look at net-im/ejabberd which is another erlang application in
the ports.  That installs most of the .beam and other working files
under /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/ -- AFAIK, the layout under there is
pretty much standard for erlang apps.
