Source: elixir-lang
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: serious

The elixir-lang package, when autobuilt, will successfully spit out a binary
package.  However, on many (most?) autobuild setups, the build will never
complete.  The reason for this is that the build launches an 'epmd' process
in the background, which it never cleans up, and this process keeps its
stdout open.  So any autobuild harness that waits for the end of data will
wait indefinitely.

A good fix for this would be to launch epmd from a script that keeps track
of its pid and kills it at the end of the test.  A lesser fix would be to
just redirect epmd's stdout/stderr to /dev/null so that it isn't holding
pipes open.
