>Description:
The description of the LOCAL_SCRIPT variable in the release(7) man page says that the script is run in the chroot(8) environment. I don't believe this is accurate. What actually happens is that the make cd's to the top-level directory of the chroot tree and then runs LOCAL_SCRIPT. A small, but important distinction for those trying to understand the release process.
>From /usr/src/release/Makefile:
.if defined(LOCAL_SCRIPT)
cd ${CHROOTDIR} && env CHROOTDIR=${CHROOTDIR} BUILDNAME=${BUILDNAME} \
RELEASETAG=${RELEASETAG} ${LOCAL_SCRIPT}
