Description of problem: According to the lfe doc (https://github.com/lfe/lfe/blob/develop/README.md), post the installation of lfe, there should be an "lfe" command available. Using the yum install version, I don't get an executable file: $ repoquery -l erlang-lfe /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0 /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe.app /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_bits.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_codegen.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_comp.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_env.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_eval.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_gen.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_init.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_io.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_io_format.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_io_pretty.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_lib.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_lint.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_macro.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_macro_include.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_macro_record.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_ms.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_parse.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_pmod.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_qlc.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_scan.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_shell.beam /usr/lib64/erlang/lib/lfe-0.9.0/ebin/lfe_trans.beam /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/LICENSE /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/README.md /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_bits.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_comp.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_gen.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_io.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_lib.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_macro.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfe_shell.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/lfescript.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/user_guide.txt /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/doc/version_history.md /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/church.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/core-macros.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/ets_demo.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/fizzbuzz.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/gps1.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/guessing-game.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/http-async.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/http-sync.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/internal-state.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/joes-fav.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/lfe_eval.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/messenger-back.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/messenger.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/mnesia_demo.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/object-via-closure.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/object-via-process.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/ping_pong.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/ring.lfe /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/sample-lfe-shellscript /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/sample-lfescript /usr/share/doc/erlang-lfe/examples/simple-erl-exercises.lfe Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.0 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install erlang-lfe 2. try to execute it (or repoquery -l erlang-lfe) Actual results: You will not find an lfe command.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I am hitting this problem as well. LFE should provide a /usr/bin/lfe and /usr/bin/lfescript to meet the expectations of software that uses lfe. This RPM currently ships sample scripts that start with `#!/usr/bin/env lfe`; the goal IMO should be for those sample scripts to work, should the user make them executable.
Created attachment 1122819 [details] Fedpkg specfile patch, fixes the bug With this applied, we get a full bin and ebin, and bin commands are symlinked from bindir.
I don't have commit rights in the fedpkg repo :-) -- if you want me as comaintainer... Successful scratch build at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12928532
