Build Initial Release Set

Use the make release target to produce the initial set of files (source, ISO, ...). Several of the files produced will be released to the world at large. Producing them takes a LONG time.

[root@nst-dev-32 repo]# make release SFUSER=YOUR_SF_ACCOUNT_ID
Attempting to check out current source code...

... lots of messages as it checks out a fresh copy and builds
    resulting files will be under: nst-VERSION-SVNREV directory ...

[root@nst-dev-32 repo]# 

Currently, the following files will be built:
