Add formula for the Sinan build tool for Erlang.

[tmcgilchrist]

Sinan is an Erlware project intended as build tool designed to build Erlang/OTP Projects, Releases and Applications.

Is there a stable release of this software?

[tmcgilchrist]

There certainly is. I suppose I should be pointing to that instead of master.

The latest release is: https://github.com/erlware/sinan/tree/v4.1.1

I'll update the git link to point to that.

I've switched to using a url pointing to a tarball with a SHA1.
Currently the sinan project only provides a tarball of an older release, but there is a ticket to get a newer one created.

Is that closer to what's required?

If you look at the commit history, https://github.com/erlware/sinan/commits/master/
you will see that 4.1.1 may be 3 months old but it is only one commit off master.
If you look at the tags page, you will find 4.1.1 there: https://github.com/erlware/sinan/tags
What we can easily do is use the tar.gz from the tag page and its sha1.

  url 'https://github.com/erlware/sinan/tarball/v4.1.1'
  sha1 '3b6d73a2599ea9a2f7dd9bf7559e4d434bed3587'

Thanks for working on this.

[tmcgilchrist]

Thanks for the help.

The file provided by https://github.com/erlware/sinan/tarball/v4.1.1 gives me a source tarball.

I was trying to avoid having to build sinan from source, since it requires a number of other Erlang libraries and will be more effort to get working.

My solution was for the Erlware/Sinan guys to fix the link to their pre-compiled version of sinan, adding a version number and a tar.gz extension.

[tmcgilchrist]

Ok, last change I hope.

Pointing to a pre-compiled version of sinan as provided by the authors.

@adamv Please let the OP know if installing binaries not building from source is ok here.
