>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}
