The "build configuration", which contains things like which revision to build, gets written somewhere (like /tmp?). An environment variable is set to indicate this location ($BUILD_CONFIG). It could be nice to have this configuration written out in multiple formats, e.g. config.sh suitable for source'ing in a bash script, config.py suitable for importing in a python script, and config.json suitable for other purposes. | The "build configuration", which contains things like which revision to build, gets written somewhere (like /tmp?).

The harness will also create a temporary working directory where scripts are free to save data for use later in the build, e.g. recording changesets, hashes, or package urls. | |||
