erlang@26 26.2.5 (new formula)

[paulo-ferraz-oliveira]

Description

This creates new formula erlang@26, for Erlang/OTP 26.2.5, from the previous erlang.rb formula. It is done in preparation for introducing 27.0.1, from https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/178020.

Further considerations

• [x] Have you followed the guidelines for contributing?
• [x] Have you ensured that your commits follow the commit style guide?
• [x] Have you checked that there aren't other open pull requests for the same formula update/change?
• [x] Have you built your formula locally with HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source <formula>, where <formula> is the name of the formula you're submitting?
• [x] Is your test running fine brew test <formula>, where <formula> is the name of the formula you're submitting?
• [x] Does your build pass brew audit --strict <formula> (after doing HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --build-from-source <formula>)? If this is a new formula, does it pass brew audit --new <formula>?

Thanks for contributing to Homebrew! :tada: It looks like you're having trouble with a CI failure. See our contribution guide for help. You may be most interested in the section on dealing with CI failures. You can find the CI logs in the Checks tab of your pull request.

Thanks for your PR @paulo-ferraz-oliveira! Am I understanding correctly that this is being done in preparation for changing the erlang formula over to 27?

In terms of fixing the CI: we already have an erlang@26 alias, which I believe you'll need to delete: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Aliases/erlang%4026. Once that's deleted the CI should be slightly happier.

Yes, there's already a concurrent pull request for this (locally Brew's happy, and yesterday the only "Failed" I saw in the logs was something for Linux, dependencies, but it didn't stop CI from moving forward); I "ran into trouble" trying to do it in the same place 😄

Yes, sorry, I was still running the CI locally, as per the pull request header. You were too fast 😄

Edit: I've since updated the Description to make my intentions clearer.

it might be a better idea to build this key_only formula along with #178020 (otherwise it would require rebase and rebuild)

I initially had the two files being changed in the same pull request, but:

1. kept running into "Commit style" failures in CI
2. reading the contributing guide didn't help, because there's a rule stating 1 commit per formula, 1 formula per commit, which made it unclear to me that I could commit two formulas in the same pull request (and even changing the alias)

I then searched the history to understand how it was done and couldn't find an example of a commit (or pull request) where multiple things were changed at once, so went with the closest to what I could find.

You suggest I merge these two pull requests? (and hopefully won't run into issues later)

Also, it's possible that this update (for 27.0.1) won't like the dependencies and fail there, and I don't know how to fix that (not the failures, but the process).

Is something missing for this to be merged as is? I don't mind rebasing #178020 on top of the main branch on it's so. Thanks.

[paulo-ferraz-oliveira]

I'll handle this in #178020.
