Oh well, that's too bad. I'll close this ticket and anyone should feel
free to reopen it if they'd like to continue the work.

Hi,

these two patches add couchdb. First, an upgrade to erlang is essential, since
our version is quite outdated and has known issues with couchdb. I’m only
bumping to a newer maintenance release of 21.x for now. `guix refresh
--list-dependent` lists only elixir, which builds fine with the new version and
emacs-erlang, build from the same sources, seems to work too.

The second patch adds couchdb. I’ve got almost the entire test suite up and
running. It is very extensive and takes a lot of time (compared to
compilation). Some patching is required to unbundle Erlangs ERTS, so an update
to Erlang in the future might break 'install due to the hard-coded version. Any
thoughts?

Future work: Shepherd service.

Cheers,
Lars
