Rez config notes ​

Platform map ​

To avoid directly using the build number as a platform, we use can a map to convert the build number to a platform name.

python
platform_map = {
    "os": {
        r"Scientific Linux-(.*)": r"Scientific-\1",                 # Scientific Linux-x.x -> Scientific-x.x
        r"Ubuntu-14.\d": r"Ubuntu-14",                              # Any Ubuntu-14.x      -> Ubuntu-14
        r"CentOS Linux-(\d+)\.(\d+)(\.(\d+))?": r"CentOS-\1.\2",    # Centos Linux-X.Y.Z -> CentOS-X.Y
    },
    "arch": {
        "x86_64": "64bit",                                          # Maps both x86_64 and amd64 -> 64bit
        "amd64": "64bit",
    },
}

Package cache ​

Cache can be usefull to improve resolution time and avoiding dealing with UNC path for some binaries.

first you need to go in the rez config and set the rez pacakge cache location

for example:

cache_packages_path = r"D:\rez\cache"

Then you can define the default cachable value for each package in the rez config:

default_cachable_per_package = {
    "nuke": False,
    "maya": True
}

But i didn't like, i prefer set this value, per package, so in the package.py file of your package you can set the cachable value like this:

name = 'vscode'

cachable = True

and voila.
