Deprecated package options

The following outlines deprecated configuration options for packages. It is not recommended to use these options.

LIBFOO_DEPENDENCIES

Warning

The option is deprecated and packages should use LIBFOO_NEEDS instead.

List of package dependencies a given project has. If a project depends on another package, the package name should be listed in this option. This ensures releng-tool will process packages in the proper order. The following shows an example package libfoo being dependent on liba and libb being processed first:

LIBFOO_DEPENDENCIES = [
    'liba',
    'libb',
]

LIBFOO_SKIP_REMOTE_CONFIG

Warning

The option is deprecated and packages should use LIBFOO_REMOTE_CONFIG instead.

Flag value to indicate that a package should not attempt to load any package configurations which may be defined in the package’s source. A package, by default, has the ability to load configuration information from a package’s source. If the package includes a .releng-tool file at the root of their sources, supported configuration options that have not been populated will be registered into the package before invoking a package’s configuration stage.

LIBFOO_SKIP_REMOTE_CONFIG = True

See also releng.disable_remote_configs quirk.

LIBFOO_SKIP_REMOTE_SCRIPTS

Warning

The option is deprecated and packages should use LIBFOO_REMOTE_SCRIPTS instead.

Flag value to indicate that a package should not attempt to load any package scripts which may be defined in the package’s source. Typically, a script-based package will load configuration, build, etc. scripts from its package definition folder. If a script-based package is missing a stage script to invoke and finds an associated script in the package’s source, the detected script will be invoked. For example, if libfoo package may attempt to load a libfoo-configure script for a configuration stage. In the event that the script cannot be found and remote scripting is permitted for a package, the script (if exists) releng-configure will be loaded from the root of the package’s contents.

LIBFOO_SKIP_REMOTE_CONFIG = True
