Alternative extensions¶

Niezalecane od wersji 2.0: The .releng extension is no longer recommended and will be removed in a future release.

Niezalecane od wersji 2.2: Extensionless configurations/scripts are no longer recommended and may be removed in a future release.

Zmienione w wersji 2.2: Extension priority orders have changed (<2.2: (none), .rt, .releng, .py; >=2.2: .rt, .py, (none), .releng).

A default configuration file is typically a file named releng-tool.rt at the root of a project. Consider the following example of a project with a libfoo package with various stage scripts:

└── my-project/
    ├── package/
    │   └── libfoo/
    │       ├── libfoo.rt
    │       ├── libfoo-build.rt
    │       └── libfoo-install.rt
    └── releng-tool.rt

Developers who do not prefer the .rt extension may use the .py extension. For example, the above example is equivalent to the structure:

└── my-project/
    ├── package/
    │   └── libfoo/
    │       ├── libfoo.py
    │       ├── libfoo-build.py
    │       └── libfoo-install.py
    └── releng-tool.py

For a specific file to be loaded, releng-tool uses the following priority:

File with a .rt extension
File with a .py extension
File without an extension (deprecated)
File with a .releng extension (deprecated)

Only the first detected file will be loaded. For example, if a project has multiple releng-tool configuration files with different extensions:

└── my-project/
    ├── package/
    │   └── libfoo/
    │       └── ...
    ├── releng-tool.rt
    └── releng-tool.py

Only the releng-tool.rt configuration script will be used.
