releng-tool
Overview
When dealing with a project that depends on multiple packages, assets may be found in multiple locations and may require various methods to extract, build and more. releng-tool can be used to process a defined set of projects/packages which identify where resources can be fetched, how packages can be extracted and methods to patch, configure, build and install each individual package for a target root.
For detailed documentation on the releng-tool project, see releng-tool's documentation.
