How to use:
- Compile ejabberd with Rebar3
- Start ejabberd with "make relive"
- Edit some ejabberd source code file
- Save the file, and Sync will compile and reload it automatically
I've added src_dirs option so Sync doesn't act on dependencies,
which would produce many garbage log lines.
However, now it only works if the parent directory is named "ejabberd"
Sync requires at least Erlang/OTP 21, which introduced the
new try-catch syntax to retrieve the stacktrace

That option is required when Erlang < 26 to disable the archive feature.
The feature and the option were removed in Erlang 26, and the release
building process fails if the option is used.

Prepare with:
./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-rebar=./rebar3 && make
Or use this if you installed Elixir:
./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-rebar=mix && make
Start without installing (it recompiles when necessary):
make relive
It stores config, database and logs in _build/relive/
There's available the well-known script:
_build/relive/ejabberdctl
Please note this fails immediately:
r3:do(compile).
This crashes a few seconds later:
rebar3:run(["compile"]).
Workaround that works correctly:
ejabberd_admin:update().
Flock'ing /var/lock/ejabberdctl by ejabberdctl was removed with
f7d4aae64d ("Use UUID for ctl node name (#1021)"), however the
according recipies in the Makefile where never removed. This commit
does that.
