Hello,

I recently added prebuilt source tar archives to github. See the assets on https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-23.1 for example. From now on, all releases and patches will have these prebuilt archives, so if you want to speed up the building of Erlang/OTP you can use these instead of the archives built by github.

Also all existing prebuilt archives are in the process of being synced over to github, see https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases/tag/OTP-21.0 as an example. So for the places where you previously used KERL_BUILD_BACKEND=tarball you can now download from github and not have the issue of erlang.org being slow/unavailable.

If you need any help or have any questions, do let me know.

This is also relevant: erlang/otp#2782

It will take a while for all old patches to be built, but when they are you can get any patch including and after 21 as a pre-build .tar.gz from github.

The prebuilt archives contain all .beam and .chunk files
already compiled so that they are do not have to be compiled
again. This speeds up building on my machine from 6 minutes
to 3 minutes.
