Transfer to SourceForge

Tweak Release Notes

You should copy the release notes to a file named README.txt, review and tweak them prior to uploading the files. For example:

[root@nst-dev-32 repo]# cp nst-2.15.0-2515/release-notes-2.15.0-2515.txt nst-2.15.0-2515/README.txt
[root@nst-dev-32 repo]# emacs nst-2.15.0-2515/README.txt

FTP to SourceForge

At this point you can start transferring files to SourceForge. The make -C yum sftp-sf can be used to simplify this task (NOTE: It defaults to Nautilus if the DISPLAY variable is set, unset DISPLAY to remain on the command line).

[root@dev18-32 repo]# (unset DISPLAY; make -C yum sftp-sf SFUSER=your-user-id)
make: Entering directory `/root/repo/yum'
if [ -z "" ]; then \
	  sftp your-user-id,nst@frs.sourceforge.net:/home/frs/project/n/ns/nst/; \
	else \
	  nautilus ssh://your-user-id,nst@frs.sourceforge.net/home/frs/project/n/ns/nst/; \
	fi

Dual Transfers

If the 32bit ISO has already been transferred to the NST Pro site, then one can download it, check the md5sum and start the transfer to sourceforge from a different location.

Save Copy On cirrus

You should also save a copy of the released files under the /NSTDEV32/releases (32 bit) and /NSTDEV64/releases (64 bit) directory corresponding to the build. For example, if you just produced the 32 bit nst-2.13.0-1713 release, you would run the following command:

[root@dev18-32 repo]# scp -rp nst-18-4509/ cirrus:/NSTDEV32/releases/nst-18-4509/

... Many files are transferred ...

[root@dev18-32 repo]#
