Applied Rebar
summary
Rebar is an Erlang build framework that compiles dependencies from source and invokes reltool to produce releases; it treats directories as app or release based on app/.app or app.src and runs ordered plugin modules to build. Dependency resolution is a simple recursive dependency resolver using regex version specs (no central repo), so conflicts and order sensitivity are common. Recommended layout is a package-based system (no apps checked into the repo, reltool config in its own subdirectory). Rebar works but has known limits around version resolution and release ordering.
