Publishing a new XO OS build
----------------------------
+~ With a USB stick, for a headless XO ~
+
+ 1 - Pick a name for the build. The build file can have one
+ of many names, depending on its source and build stream.
+
+ The name that the client machines will see it as - and
+ that the activation server will use - is often different.
+ If the build file comes in xyz_jffs2-tree.tar.bz2 , put the
+ name in a file called xyz_jffs2.name .
+
+
+ 2 - Place 4 files in a directory at the _root_ of the usb stick,
+ call the directory "xs-xobuilds", and include the files as follows:
+ - the files are as follows
+ xyz_jffs2-tree.tar.bz2 # tar.bz2 build img
+ xyz_jffs2-tree.tar.bz2.md5 # md5 of the tarbz2
+ xyz_jffs2.contents # json-encoded manifest
+ xyz_jffs2.name # file containing the name
+
+ 3 - Ensure there are no extraneous files, and create the manifest
+ from the commandline: (GUI-based instructions welcome)
+
+ cd /path/to/usb/xs-xobuilds;
+ md5sum * > manifest.md5
+
+ 4 - If your XS is enforcing security, you will need to sign the
+ manifest with the NOC key. See the Schoolserver wiki for more
+ info.
+
+ 5 - Done - plug the USB key into the XS, and the XO build should get
+ installed automatically. The activity is logged in
+ /var/log/user.log
