ReleaseForge Configuration File

ReleaseForge requires a configuration file in order to start. The distribution of ReleaseForge includes a sample configuration file named releaseforge.cfg.dist. You may wish to copy this file to releaseforge.cfg and edit it to match your environment before running ReleaseForge for the first time. If you run ReleaseForge without first creating a configuration file, ReleaseForge will attempt to create one for you.

If ReleaseForge is unable to load releaseforge.cfg, you may have to inform ReleaseForge of it's location. Also, if you named your configuration file differently, you will also have tell ReleaseForge at runtime. You do this by invoking ReleaseForge with the -c flag.

$ python2.4 releaseforge.py -c your_configuration_file

The format of the configuration file is:

Parameter Name: Parameter Value
