Release Build Scripts This section describes the build scripts used by &team.re; to produce development snapshots and releases. The <filename>release.sh</filename> Script Prior to &os; 9.0-RELEASE, src/release/Makefile was updated to support &man.bsdinstall.8;, and the src/release/generate-release.sh script was introduced as a wrapper to automate invoking the &man.release.7; targets. Prior to &os; 9.2-RELEASE, src/release/release.sh was introduced, which heavily based on src/release/generate-release.sh included support to specify configuration files to override various options and environment variables. Support for configuration files provided support for cross building each architecture for a release by specifying a separate configuration file for each invocation. See &man.release.7; and src/release/release.conf.sample for more - details. + details and example usage. The <filename>thermite.sh</filename> Wrapper Script In order to make cross building the full set of architectures supported on a given branch faster, easier, and reduce human error factors, a wrapper script around src/release/release.sh was written to iterate through the various combinations of architectures and invoke src/release/release.sh using a configuration file specific to that architecture. The wrapper script is called thermite.sh, which is available in the &os; Subversion repository at svn://svn.freebsd.org/user/gjb/thermite/, in addition to configuration files used to build &branch.head; and &branch.stablex; development snapshots.
