Why
khepri_mnesia_migration obviously relies on Mnesia and Khepri to perform its task. However, we don't want to explicitly depend on them because in an Erlang release, this will cause Mnesia and Khepri to be started automatically by default.
Given the context where this application is used, it possible the user does not want both to be running at all time. Therefore, we leave them alone. The user of khepri_mnesia_migration already depends on Mnesia and Khepri. Thus we let the user handle the dependency and the start of Mnesia and Khepri.
How
Mnesia and Khepri are removed from the
applications
entry in the app(4) file.We add
khepri
to theplt_extra_apps
configuration parameter inrebar.config
so that Dialyzer still knows about it.
