Environment variables¶
Tip
Avoid using external environment variables for a project to configure package options such as compiler flags or interpreters. Managing these options inside a releng-tool project configuration or package definitions can improve configuration management.
Common¶
When configuration, package definitions or various scripts are invoked by releng-tool, the following environment variables are available:
BUILD_DIR
¶
The build directory. By default, this will be a folder build
found inside
the configured output directory. For example:
<root-dir>/output/build
CACHE_DIR
¶
The cache directory. By default, this will be a folder cache
found inside
the configured root directory. For example:
<root-dir>/cache
DL_DIR
¶
The download directory. By default, this will be a folder dl
found inside
the configured root directory. For example:
<root-dir>/dl
HOST_BIN_DIR
¶
Added in version 0.14.
The host directory's prefixed bin directory. For example:
<root-dir>/output/build
HOST_DIR
¶
The host directory. By default, this will be a folder host
found inside
the configured output directory. For example:
<root-dir>/output/host
HOST_INCLUDE_DIR
¶
Added in version 0.12.
The host directory's prefixed include directory.
HOST_LIB_DIR
¶
Added in version 0.12.
The host directory's prefixed library directory.
IMAGES_DIR
¶
The images directory. By default, this will be a folder images
found inside
the configured output directory. For example:
<root-dir>/output/images
LICENSE_DIR
¶
The licenses directory. By default, this will be a folder licenses
found
inside the configured output directory. For example:
<root-dir>/output/licenses
See also licenses.
NJOBS
¶
Number of calculated jobs to allow at a given time. Unless explicitly set
by a system builder on the command line, the calculated number of jobs
should be equal to the number of physical cores on the host. When building
a specific package and the package overrides the number of jobs to use,
the package-defined count will be used instead. This
configuration will always be a value of at least one (1
).
NJOBSCONF
¶
Number of jobs to allow at a given time. Unlike NJOBS
,
NJOBSCONF
provides the requested configured number of jobs to use. The
value may be set to zero (0
) to indicate an automatic detection of jobs
to use. This can be useful for tools which have their own automatic job
count implementation and do not want to rely on the value defined by
NJOBS
. When building a specific package and the package
overrides the number of jobs to use, the
package-defined count will be used instead.
OUTPUT_DIR
¶
The output directory. By default, this will be a folder output
found inside
the configured root directory. For example:
<root-dir>/output
PKG_BUILD_BASE_DIR
¶
Added in version 0.12.
The directory for a specific package's base directory for buildable content.
In most cases, this value will be the same as
PKG_BUILD_DIR
. However, if
LIBFOO_BUILD_SUBDIR
is configured,
PKG_BUILD_DIR
will also include the configured
sub-directory. The value of LIBFOO_BUILD_SUBDIR
does not adjust the value of PKG_BUILD_BASE_DIR
.
See also PKG_BUILD_DIR
.
PKG_BUILD_DIR
¶
The directory for a specific package's buildable content.
See also PKG_BUILD_BASE_DIR
and
PKG_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
.
PKG_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
¶
The directory for where a package's build output will be stored.
See also PKG_BUILD_DIR
.
PKG_CACHE_DIR
¶
The location of the cache directory for a package. If a package defines a fetch from a repository which can be locally cached, this cache directory represents the location where the local cache of content will be held. For example, if a provide defines a Git-based site, a local cache of the Git repository will be stored in this location. Typically, packages should not need to operate on the cache directory except for advanced cases.
PKG_CACHE_FILE
¶
The location of the cache file for a package. If a package defines a fetch of an archive from a remote source, after the fetch stage is completed, the archive can be found in this location.
For example, if a package defines a site https://www.example.com/test.tgz
,
the resulting cache file may be <root>/output/dl/test-1.0.tgz
.
PKG_DEFDIR
¶
The package's definition directory.
For example, for a package test
, the definition directory would be
<root>/package/test
.
PKG_DEVMODE
¶
Added in version 0.13.
Whether the package is configured for development mode. If a package is
configured for development mode, the environment variable will be set to a
value of one (i.e. PKG_DEVMODE=1
).
See also development mode.
PKG_INTERNAL
¶
Whether or not the package is considered "internal". If internal, the
environment variable will be set to a value of one (i.e. PKG_INTERNAL=1
).
See also internal and external packages.
PKG_LOCALSRCS
¶
Added in version 0.13.
Whether the package is configured for local-sources mode. If a package is
configured for local-sources, the environment variable will be set to a
value of one (i.e. PKG_LOCALSRCS=1
).
See also local-sources mode.
PKG_NAME
¶
The name of the package.
PKG_REVISION
¶
The site revision of the package.
See also LIBFOO_REVISION
.
PKG_SITE
¶
The site of the package.
See also LIBFOO_SITE
.
PKG_VERSION
¶
The version of the package.
See also LIBFOO_VERSION
.
PREFIX

to /usr
; with the exception of Windows builds where this value is empty
by default.

Package-specific variables¶
Package-specific environment variables are also available if another package or
script needs to rely on the (generated) configuration of another package. For
example, if a package LIBFOO
existed with a package definition:
LIBFOO_VERSION = '1.0.0'
The environment variable LIBFOO_VERSION
with a value of 1.0.0
can be used
in other configurations and script files. The following package-specific
environment variables are available for use, where <PKG>
translates to a
releng-tool's determined package key:
<PKG>_BUILD_DIR
¶
The directory for a defined package's buildable content.
For most packages, this path will match the value specified in
<PKG>_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
. For package types that do not support in-tree
building (e.g. CMake), this path may be the parent of the value specified
in <PKG>_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
:
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── output/
│ └── build/
│ └── libfoo-1.0.0 <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_DIR
│ └── releng-output <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
│ └── ...
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
For cases where a package uses local sources, this path may change to point to the specified local source path. For example, when configured for local-sources mode, the build directory may exist out of the root directory:
└── libfoo/ <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_DIR
│ └── ...
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── output/
│ └── build/
│ └── libfoo-1.0.0 <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
│ └── ...
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
Or, when using a local
VCS type, the path may be set for a folder inside
the package's definition directory:
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── output/
│ └── build/
│ └── libfoo-1.0.0 <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
│ └── ...
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/
│ └── local/ <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_DIR
│ └── ...
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
<PKG>_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
¶
The directory for where a defined package's build output will be stored.
This location is a path is a folder inside the project's output/build
directory. The name is typically a combination of the package's name and
version (e.g. libfoo-1.0.0
):
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── output/
│ └── build/
│ └── libfoo-1.0.0 <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
│ └── ...
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
However, if no version is specified for a package, the folder name may
just be libfoo
:
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── output/
│ └── build/
│ └── libfoo <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
│ └── ...
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
Note for some package types, the build output directory may be changed to
have an additional path (e.g. output/build/libfoo-1.0.0/releng-output
)
for package types like CMake. For example:
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── output/
│ └── build/
│ └── libfoo-1.0.0
│ └── releng-output <---- LIBFOO_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
│ └── ...
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
<PKG>_DEFDIR
¶
The directory where a defined package's definition is stored.
For example, if a package libfoo
exists, the LIBFOO_DEFDIR
environment
variable will contain a directory path matching the path seen below:
└── my-releng-tool-project/
├── package/
│ └── libfoo/ <---- LIBFOO_DEFDIR
│ └── libfoo.rt
├── releng-tool.rt
...
<PKG>_NAME
¶
The name of the package.
For example, if a package libfoo
exists, the LIBFOO_NAME
environment
variable will have a value of libfoo
.
<PKG>_REVISION
¶
The revision of a defined package. If a package does not define a revision, the value used will match the version value (if set). If no version value exists, this variable may be empty.
<PKG>_VERSION
¶
The version of a defined package. If a package does not define a version, the value used will match the revision value (if set). If no revision value exists, this variable may be empty.
Script-only variables¶
A series a script-only variables are also available at certain stages of releng-tool.
RELENG_GENERATED_LICENSES
¶
Added in version 1.3.
Defines a list of generated license files at the end of package processing that is available for post-processing actions to use.
RELENG_GENERATED_SBOMS
¶
Added in version 1.3.
Defines a list of generated software build of materials (SBOM) files at the end of package processing that is available for post-processing actions to use.
Other variables¶
releng-tool also accepts environment variables for configuring specific features of the releng-tool process. The following environment variables are accepted:
RELENG_ASSETS_DIR=<dir>
¶
Added in version 0.10.
The asset directory to use. The asset directory is the container directory
to use for both cache and download content. By default, no asset directory
is configured. If a user does not override an asset directory using the
--assets-dir
argument, the RELENG_ASSETS_DIR
can be
used as the container directory override for both cache and download
content.
RELENG_CACHE_DIR=<dir>
¶
Added in version 0.10.
The cache directory to use. By default, the cache directory used is configured
to <root>/cache
. If a user does not override a cache directory using the
--cache-dir
argument, the RELENG_CACHE_DIR
option can
be used to override this location.
RELENG_DL_DIR=<dir>
¶
Added in version 0.10.
The download directory to use. By default, the download directory used is
configured to <root>/dl
. If a user does not override a download directory
using the --dl-dir
argument, the RELENG_DL_DIR
option
can be used to override this location.
RELENG_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_CONTAINER_DIR=<dir>
¶
注釈
This environment variable is always ignored when either the
--out-dir
argument or
RELENG_OUTPUT_DIR
environment variable is used.
Added in version 1.1.
Configures a "global" container directory used to hold the output contents
of releng-tool projects. Projects will typically generate output contents
inside a project's <root-dir>/output
directory. This can be overridden
using the --out-dir
argument or
RELENG_OUTPUT_DIR
environment variable, if a user
wishes to generate a build on a different path/partition. While these
overrides can help, users managing multiple releng-tool projects will need
to tailor a specific output directory value for each project they wish to
build. This may be less than ideal if projects typically build in an
output folder in a common directory. To help avoid this, this environment
variable can be used.
When configuring this option, the default output folder for projects will be set to the provided container directory along with a project's root directory name:
$RELENG_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_CONTAINER_DIR/<root-directory-name>
This allows a user to build multiple releng-tool projects with output data placed inside a common directory path without needing to explicitly configure a specific output directory each project's build.
For example, if a user stores multiple projects inside a ~/projects/
path
and configures this option to the path /mnt/extern-disk
:
export RELENG_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_CONTAINER_DIR=/mnt/extern-disk
The following folder structure should be expected:
├── usr/
│ └── home/
│ └── myuser/
│ └── projects/
│ ├── my-project-a/
│ │ ├── ...
│ │ └── releng-tool.rt
│ └── my-project-b/
│ ├── ...
│ └── releng-tool.rt
└── mnt/
└── extern-disk/
├── my-project-a/
│ └── ...
└── my-project-b/
└── ...
RELENG_IGNORE_RUNNING_AS_ROOT=1
¶
Added in version 0.10.
Suppress the warning generated when running releng-tool with an elevated user.
RELENG_IGNORE_UNKNOWN_ARGS=1
¶
Added in version 1.3.
Suppress the warning/error generated when running releng-tool with unknown arguments.
See also the --relaxed-args
argument.
RELENG_OUTPUT_DIR=<dir>
¶
Added in version 1.1.
The output directory to use. By default, the output directory used is
configured to <root>/output
. If a user does not override an output
directory using the --out-dir
argument, the
RELENG_OUTPUT_DIR
option can be used to override this location.
See also
RELENG_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_CONTAINER_DIR
.
