                     33:                        prepares the ISO image
                     34: quickrel               same as release, but use quickworld and quickkernel
                     35: realquickrel           same as release, but skips buildworld and buildkernel
                     36: 
                     37: 
                     38: First time usage

                     40: 
                     41: The nrelease framework expects to find a working pkg_add from pkgsrc.
                     42: You can use the bootstrap kit, which matches the default configuration,
                     43: or install it yourself.  If you use a location other than /usr/pkg, you
                     44: have to specify PKGSRC_PKG_ADD in make.conf.
                     45: 
                     46: If you want to have any packages install in the ISO (the default), run
                     47: ``make fetch'' first, to get them and the bootstrap kit used in the ISO.
                     48: By default, the current directory is used, the location can and should
1.3     ! swildner   49: be overridden by PKGSRC_PKG_PATH in make.conf.

                     53: 
                     54: The steps required for engineering a release are documented in (CVS)
                     55: doc/notes/release.txt.  How to branch the CVS tree, etc.  They were put
                     56: in an out of the way place so normal developers would not accidently try
                     57: to run the commands in question.
