net/rabbitmq: update to 3.8.18 and OTP24 with jit support

[dch]

Summary

RabbitMQ has moved to a much tighter cycle of support, now that the
Erlang OTP team has also made clear their support policy is penultimate
+ current release only.

Now we have OTP24 in ports let's move to that because JIT.

• PATH leakage fixed
• linuxisms for /var/db/rabbitmq fixed
• rc.d works
• man pages use hier(7) paths

[dch]

• PATH needs to have erlang23/bin prepended in all the usual places
• HOMEDIR isn't being set properly with the amended scripts

[dch]

• o tiny cuttlefish, we miss you
• fix more /var/lib/rabbitmq linuxisms

[dch]

• fix ERL_DIR diff

[dch]

• more ERL_DIR path injection

[dch]

drop cuttlefish binary it has been superceded

[dch]

• damn you cuttlefish hiding in so many crevices

[dch]

addressed HOMEDIR issue via RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE

Hi!

After seeing the significant amount of patching being done to tune the defaults to FreeBSD file hierarchy, I believe it would be way easier to install a ${LOCALBASE}/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf file instead. The only patch required would be setting SYS_PREFIX in rabbitmq-defaults.

Then, the content of rabbitmq-env.conf would be:

# rabbitmq user's home.
HOME=/var/db/rabbitmq

# Adjust $PATH to default to Erlang 23.
PATH=${LOCALBASE}/lib/erlang23/bin:$PATH

# Data & log files locations.
RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE=${HOME}/mnesia
RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE=/var/log/rabbitmq

What do you think?

this is 10x better, yes thanks! how can we handle the very common situation
of a rabbitmq-env.conf already existing, that wouldn't have these settings?

[dch]

port builds, using OTP23 as baseline but runtime PATH for /var/db/rabbitmq
still defaults incorrectly to /var/lib/rabbitmq. further debugging needed.

[dch]

OTP24

[dch]

remove PATH tweaks in favour of SYS_PREFIX introduced in 3.8.4

[dch]

fix path handling
fix directory location

[dch]

resolve rc.d script issues in start|stop|status

[dch]

ensure HOME is set as su -m does not acquire this from GECOS info

[dch]

align man pages with hier(7)

[dch]

• add permissions for /usr/local/etc/rabbitmq so they are writable by scripts
• force locale in rabbitmq-defaults so that all scripts inherit this

[dch]

overcome by events
