Product Delivery


Products must be packaged for delivery to the customer / user. A product package typically consists of a single archive file, such as a tar file that when extracted places all product deliverables in appropriate places. One of the extracted files should contain installation instructions. This is sometime called the README file. Instructions might include running the make command or other utility software required to build and install your product. Be aware of the environment that your customer / user supports.

Constituents of your delivery include the following items.
  1. Documented source code
  2. Installation instructions including any make files or scripts required to build and install the product
  3. Release notes including any known outstanding bugs
  4. A man page giving invocation instructions
  5. User documentation possibly including Quick Start, User Manual, or Reference Manual
Your delivery package should be placed on the Swiki, with a link entered on your team project page.
