Check Release Information

After a creating a release, you should find the following set of files (all paths are shown relative to the directory where you originally invoked make release):

nst-${VERSION}/nst-${VERSION}.tar.gz

A snapshot of the source code which was tagged earlier and used to build the ISO image(s). This file will need to be uploaded to SourceForge.

nst-${VERSION}/nst-${VERSION}.${HWARCH}.iso

The ISO image of the full NST distribution to be uploaded to SourceForge for distribution. Upload to SourceForge.

nst-${VERSION}/nst-minimal-${VERSION}.${HWARCH}.iso

The ISO image of the minimal NST distribution to be uploaded to SourceForge for distribution (for CD installation followed by yum install nst-live). Upload to SourceForge.

nst-${VERSION}/nst-vm-live-${VERSION}.${HWARCH}.zip

A template set of files to boot the NST ISO image using VMware. Is used when building the NST Virtual Machine, but is also useful to end users. Upload to SourceForge.

nst-${VERSION}/nst-vm-appliance-${VERSION}.${HWARCH}.zip

A template set of files used to facilitate the final stage of producing the NST Virtual Machine. This does not need to be uploaded to SourceForge (end user's that want this can grab it directly from the distribution).

nst-${VERSION}/release-notes-${VERSION}.txt

The release notes text file to store at SourceForge.

As an example, here is what the files looked like after the 2.11.0 build:
