5. Creating the fli4l Archives/Boot media
5.3. Control file mkfli4l.txt
Since fli4l-Version 2.1.9 the control file config /mkfli4l.txt exists. This file can e.g. be
used to specify directories which differ from the standard settings. The control file has a similar
structure as the normal fli4l configuration files. All configuration variables here are optional,
i.e. they need not exist or they can be commented out.
BUILDDIR Default: ‘build’
Specifies the directory where fli4l files will be created. If the variable is undefined, the
Windows mkfli4l sets it to ‘build’ relative to the fli4l root directory, resulting in the
directory. build in the fli4l root directory:
Path/fli4l-x.y.z/build
Under *nix mkfli4l is using config /build and is thus filing the generated files to-
gether with the configuration.
The path for BUILDDIR must use the conventions of the Operating Systems Windows
oder *nix. If relative paths configured there are converted by the build to the syntax of
windows or *nix.
VERBOSE Default: VERBOSE=’no’
Possible values are ’yes’ or ’no’. Controls the Verbosity of the Build Processes.
FILESONLY Default: FILESONLY=’no’
Possible values are ’yes’ or ’no’. This will actually turn off the creation of the boot-
media and only the files will be created –
REMOTEUPDATE Default: REMOTEUPDATE=’no’
Possible values are ’yes’ or ’no’. Enables automatic transferring of files by means of
SCP to the router. This requires the package SSHD (Page 219) with activated scp. See
also the following variables.
REMOTEHOSTNAME Default: REMOTEHOSTNAME=”
The target host name for the SCP data transfer. If no name is set, the variable HOSTNAME
(Page 24) is used.
REMOTEUSERNAME Default: REMOTEUSERNAME=’fli4l’
User name for the SCP data transfer.
REMOTEPATHNAME Default: REMOTEPATHNAME=’/boot’
Destination path for the SCP data transfer.
REMOTEPORT Default: REMOTEPORT=’22’
Destination port for the SCP data transfer.
SSHKEYFILE Default: SSHKEYFILE=”
Here you can specify a SSH key file for the SCP Remote update. Thus, an update can
be made without specifying a password.
