Configuration files

Profiles

Profiles in Conan 2.0 drop the textual replacement of variables.

This profile will not work in 2.0:

profile

MYVAR = FreeBSD
[settings]
os = $MYVAR

The profile below is the 2.0 equivalent, now supporting Jinja syntax. This enables more dynamic content and customization possibilities.

profile.jinja

{% set a = "FreeBSD" %}
[settings]
os = {{ a }}

The .jinja extension in the profile name is necessary in 1.X but will not be necessary in 2.0

conan.conf

The conan.conf file is superseded by the global.conf file. Use only new conan config list items in the global.conf file.

remotes.txt

This file has been removed in Conan 2.0 as a definition of remotes. The remotes.json file is the one to be used in 2.0 (remotes.txt will be completely ignored).
