- CHROOTDIR
- Directory in which the chroot will be seeded and the release will be built (will be deleted before use)
- WORLD_FLAGS
- Flags to pass to make buildworld (-j8)
- KERNEL_FLAGS
- Flags to pass to make buildkernel (-j8)
- KERNELS_BASE
- List of kernel configs to build
- KERNELS

Location of sources:
Building from CVS:
- CVSROOT
- Location of the CVS tree from which to check out the current sources
- RELEASETAG
- CVS tag to check out
- CVSARGS
- Arguments to pass to the CVS command
- CVSCMDARGS
- Arguments to pass to the CVS subcommand invocation
- CVSPREFIX
- Prefix the CVS command with another command
Building from SVN:
- SVNROOT
- Location of the SVN tree from which to check out the current sources
- SVNBRANCH
- SVN branch to check out
- SVNARGS
- Arguments to pass to the SVN command
- SVNCMDARGS
- Arguments to pass to the SVN subcommand invocation
- SVNPREFIX
- Prefix the SVN command with another command
Building from local src tree:
- EXTSRCDIR
- To test a release with a source tree containing patches and other work. This tree will get copied instead of getting the src/ tree from a CVS checkout. For 'rerelease', this will NOT be copied; cvs update will be used instead
- EXTPORTSDIR
- To use a checked-out ports collection directory instead of checking out from a local CVS repository
- EXTDOCDIR
- To use a checked-out doc/ directory instead of checking out from a local CVS repository
Patching fresh sources
- LOCAL_PATCHES
- Patch files to apply to the freshly checked out source tree before building
- PATCH_FLAGS
- Flags to pass to the patch(1) command
