TITORC(5)

💖 TITORC(5) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the tito user manual, and specifically to titorc — the lil user-specific settings file for tito 🎀. That's the whole vibe. It's a config file. It's yours. It's optional. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

None

no synopsis, no drama, nothing to memorise here. it's giving low-maintenance 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like — your user preferences can optionally be stored. That's it, that's the whole thing. And they live riiiight here:

~/.titorc

put your settings in that file and tito will read them. you don't have to. it's optional. but it's there and it loves you 🫶

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• KOJI_OPTIONS — bestie this one lets you specify strings of options, which get passed to koji on the commandline when you use KojiReleaser. Like, for example:

KOJI_OPTIONS=-c ~/.koji/katello-config build --nowait

• NO_AUTO_INSTALL — a list of packages (separated by space, just spaces, that's the separator) that should NOT be installed when tito is run with the -i option. so basically a do-not-touch list. a blocklist. a "not today" list 🙈
• RPMBUILD_BASEDIR — specifies a base directory for temp files, tarballs, and RPMs. If it's defined, and if the directory actually exists, tito will automatically create subdirectories as needed for rpmbuild(8). You can override it on the fly with -o. The default output directory is /tmp/tito. iconic default, honestly 🍓
• HIDE_EMAIL — if you set this to something other than 0, your email address will not be used in changelog entries. I.e. instead of
  • Tue Feb 11 2011 Miroslav Suchy <msuchy@redhat.com> 0.3.0-2

you will get:

• Tue Feb 11 2011 Miroslav Suchy 0.3.0-2

no email, no problem 💜

• RHPKG_USER, FEDPKG_USER — by default this is the UNIX user running the command. Overriding it will run all rhpkg/fedpkg commands with --user $RHPKG_USER/FEDPKG_USER. so you can be someone else for those calls. main character energy, borrowed identity edition 👑
• COLOR — set it to 0 or False to disable colored output. (why would you. but okay. valid choice, we respect it 🌈)
• MEAD_SCM_USERNAME — the username to use when pushing the repository MEAD is going to build from. If this value is unset, the MEAD releaser will default to using the name of the current user. so like, it just assumes you. fair 💅
• COPR_REMOTE_LOCATION — the URL that Tito will push SRPMs to for Copr to use. yes, a whole URL. go off ✨

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

KOJI_OPTIONS=-c ~/.koji/spacewalkproject.org-config build --nowait

# Default Location to write temp files, tarballs and rpms to:
RPMBUILD_BASEDIR = "/tmp/tito"

look at that. two whole settings, vibing together in one file. we love to see it 😭💖
