TLP Global Configuration

The following parameters make up the global configuration that is used by the TLP tool.

BaseDirectory

Specifies the default variable that is set to the TLP installation directory. You can refer to this directory in the default configuration file with the $BaseDirectory value. You can override this variable with any other value.

WithdrawnPatches

Specifies the path to a list of withdrawn patches. Because at least two of these roles are involved in bad patch handling, this configuration information is extracted into the global section. This format is explained in the Tlp::Repository::DirRepository description.

tar, uncompress, gzip, Zzip

Specifies the path to helper programs. If not provided, the corresponding programs are looked up in the system path

TargetDirectory, DataDirectory

Specifies file path variables. These variables are referenced directly, but they can also be referenced by other file path variables that are included in the rest of the configuration file. You can define any variable and then reference it later in the configuration file. An example is the $TargetDirectory.
