Dependencies
I have a few question about dependencies:
* SpiderMonkey needs to be compiled thread safe?
* OpenSSL is an optional dependency only needed if we want to use SSL
connections? (correct?)
* svn2cl is not needed, right? From the web: This is an xsl
stylesheet for generating a classic GNU-style ChangeLog from a
subversion repository log. I think this is not needed, but I need
confirmation because it's included in Gentoo ebuild an I don't know
why.
* libcurl for future releases 0.9 and up. Optional, mandatory?
Thanks in advance.

Well, not for a long time.

I cannot remember which release we took this out, but it is not in trunk and
will not be in the next release.

Thanks both for the quick answer.
Answering Noah Slater, I've read it in the (non-oficial) Gentoo
ebuild, first from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197176 and
now maintained in a couchdb overlay at
https://svn.usrportage.de/couchdb-overlay .
As Jan Lehnardt says: svn2cl was needed to build CouchDB. Because
Gentoo/Linux distribution builds (compile) everything before
installing, this could be the reason that svn2cl is needed by Gentoo.
Can you confirm that svn2cl is only needed for compiling older version
0.8.1 and 0.8.0?
This compilation dependency is present in new versions (0.9)?
I'm going to update this overlay with the new top level address and
with the new version 0.9 when it comes out.
Thanks

This is no longer needed at all. Where are you reading this?

OpenSSL for Erlang is a required dependency. We use its random number
generator to create UUIDs. There is not SSL support, yet.

This is optional if you want to build CouchDB yourself. If you want to
create releases, you need it.

Mandatory.
