--- Comment #2 from Gilles Dubreuil <gdubreui(a)redhat.com> ---
I agree this challenges Fedora/EPEL package updates policy.
One solution mentioned in related BZ#1309525 would be to have Red Hat Software
Collections (SCL) to take care of it. Since Erlang is not part of SCL yet, it'd
have to be added/accepted first.
Some thoughts here:
Programming languages have regular and important updates. EPEL, because of RHEL
long life cycle cannot take advantage of those new releases.
Fedora has only the latest RPM available, which might make sense when targeting
only cutting edge environments. But if EPEL could instead follow RHEL channels
approach and keep all RPM released versions then that would not be an issue
because those who need a previous version (Erlang 16, or Erlang 17) could still
get it and the latest RPM version would be the latest but stable version
(Erlang 18)
