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-1.10.0.tar.gzThe source code which was used to build the ISO image(s). This file will need to be uploaded to SourceForge.
src/nst-1.10.0*.iso.gzThe compressed ISO image(s) to be uploaded to SourceForge for distribution.
src/nst-1.10.0*.isoThe uncompressed ISO image(s) which can be experimented with. You should burn these to CDRW and verify that they boot prior to updating SourceForge. It would also be a good idea to verify that the associated password update scripts work on these ISO images prior to uploading to SourceForge.
html/log/release-1.10.0*.xmlThe XML manifest(s) need to be added and committed to the CVS repository once you are satisfied with the ISO images. This had been done automatically, but this led to CVS issues when using the make release command (mysterious files that appeared to be modified even though you never touched them).
html/log/nstisopasswd-1.10.0*.bashThe bash scripts which allow one to set the system password in the ISO image. Do not add these files to the CVS repository. They are automatically generated from the associated release XML file. However, you should try running them and verify that you are able to change the passwords in the ISO image(s).
As an example, here is what Paul saw after making a release on his development system:

[root@quesadilla fc2]# html/log/nstisopasswd-1.10.0.bash bad src/nst-1.10.0.iso
***ERROR*** 3 is too short for password (at least 6 chars)
Usage:
nstisopasswd-1.2.0.bash PASS ISO
Where:
PASS - New password to put into ISO image
ISO - ISO image to update
This script is used to change the default NST password in a ISO image
file. It was originally created for the ISO image:
nst-1.2.0.iso
It WILL NOT WORK if you try it on a different ISO image!
