Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] utils/test-pkg: allow to override the default build directory with an environment variable
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 13:38:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250919133837.7065-1-thomas@devoogdt.com> (raw)

From: Thomas Devoogdt <thomas.devoogdt@barco.com>

Currently, there is one way to override the ${HOME}/br-test-pkg default,
using the --build-dir argument. But when doing frequent test runs, it's
just easier to force it with an environment variable, so add it.
