danikp opened a new issue #2047: CouchDB 2.3.1 refuses to build on Ubuntu 18.04
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2047
 
 
   [NOTE]: # ( ^^ Provide a general summary of the issue in the title above. ^^ )
   
   ## Description
   While building couchDB 2.3.1 from source on Ubuntu Bionic 18.04, it fails with error
   $ make release
   **CouchDB does not support this version of Erlang ("20.2.2").**
   Check https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/whatsnew/index.html for the
   latest information on supported releases.
   Makefile:114: recipe for target 'couch' failed
   make: *** [couch] Error 1
   
   [NOTE]: # ( Describe the problem you're encountering. )
   [TIP]:  # ( Do NOT give us access or passwords to your actual CouchDB! )
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce
   # download and build
   wget http://apache.spd.co.il/couchdb/source/2.3.1/apache-couchdb-2.3.1.tar.gz
   tar zxf apache-couchdb-2.3.1.tar.gz
   mv apache-couchdb-2.3.1 couchdb
   
   # preparation, only on bionic
   sudo apt install devscripts debhelper zip pkg-kde-tools libffi-dev libnspr4-dev
   git clone https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg
   cd couchdb-pkg
   make couch-js-debs PLATFORM=bionic
   sudo apt install ./js/couch-libmozjs185-*.deb
   cd ..
   
   # continue
   cd couchdb/
   ./configure
   make release
   [NOTE]: # ( Include commands to reproduce, if possible. curl is preferred. )
   
   ## Expected Behaviour
   build passing
   [NOTE]: # ( Tell us what you expected to happen. )
   
   ## Your Environment
   ubuntu 18.04
   erlang 20.2.2 (default package for that ubuntu version)
   [TIP]:  # ( Include as many relevant details about your environment as possible. )
   [TIP]:  # ( You can paste the output of curl http://YOUR-COUCHDB:5984/ here. )
   
   * CouchDB Version used: 2.3.1
   * Browser name and version:
   * Operating System and version: Ubuntu 18.04
   
   ## Additional context
   Docs say nothing on minimal Erlang version change, obly that Erlang 21 now supported, but not it's minimal version, so build on 20.x branch expected to work
   
   [TIP]:  # ( Add any other context about the prbolem here. )
