`mix release` fails with `{unreachable_package, cowlib}` about exrm

[bitwalker]

Could you give distillery a try? It should work much better for you. If you cannot for some reason, can you push a repo which I can use to reproduce the issue?

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
In few words, what's the difference between distillery and exrm? I.e. when should I use one or another

[bitwalker]

Distillery is a replacement for exrm, it's written entirely in Elixir, is much more configurable, has better support for umbrella projects, and is faster. There's basically no reason to use exrm over distillery unless you are already using it and have no desire to change between them.

Thank you for the explanation. I've tried distillery and filed a bug report there, because it also fails to generate a release.
