[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-1048) Erlang compile warnings on R14B/RHEL5

["Klaus Trainer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1048?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12988098#action_12988098 ] 

Klaus Trainer commented on COUCHDB-1048:
----------------------------------------

I wouldn't call this an issue, and definitely not a bug.

As long as we keep (backwards) compatibility with Erlang versions across different major releases, such warnings will be a given.

As I recall, we want to keep CouchDB versions 1.0.X backwards compatible with Erlang R13B03.

Regarding bool() and boolean(), I don't know in which version the renaming has been done first.

Using httpc:request/4 instead of http:request/4 will break compatibility at least with Erlang R13B03, so there is no way to make that warning disappear.
