pkgx - Easy packaging of Erlang releases

This program can be used to make OS packages for an Erlang application bundled as an OTP release.

Getting started

Create a pkgx.config in the root of your project. Look at the pkgx.config.sample file for instpiration. Also, make sure that you're all set with generating a release using the relx tool.

Typical workflow scenario:

$> rebar compile
$> relx release
$> pkgx deb

Now, you have a *.deb file in your directory which holds the Erlang release and can be easily installed on a target system.

The service will automatically start (using an init.d script), and runs under a new user account. Log files are found in /var/log/(package). A default, empty, config file is created in /etc/(package)/(package).config, from which application environment variables are read from.
