Release File Names

Files released by the NodeBrain project are named by release, distribution, and format.

    nb-release-distribution.format
Example:
    nb-0.6.4-gnu.linux-x86.tar.gz

    Version:0.6
    Release:0.6.4
    Distribution:gnu.linux-x86
    Format:tar.gz
The release has three numbered components separated by periods. The first two numbers are the NodeBrain version, identifying a specific set of intended features and functionality visible to the user.
    major.minor.patch

    Major: Increments for major code or feature changes
    Minor: Planned incremental enhancements
    Patch: Unplanned bug fixes that can't wait for next planned release

Example:
    0.6.4

The distribution may be "doc.Document", "source" or a platform identifier. For binary distributions the platform identifier includes the target operating system and hardware---the environment where we compiled the source to create the binary distribution. We begin the platform identifier with an OS group designation, of which there are three supported:

  • gnu.linux (any GNU/Linux OS)
  • unix (any Unix OS)
  • win (any Windows OS)

The OS group designation is followed by an identifier of a specific operating system. We sometimes include an OS version number. (NodeBrain is not especially sensitive to most OS version changes, so we prefer not to label the version.)

  • unix.netbsd
  • unix.solaris.9
The last component of the platform identifies the hardware. Where possible, a generic hardware designation is used. When a specific hardware platform is identified, you may still use the release on other binary compatible platforms. Some examples are shown here.
    gnu.linux-alpha
    gnu.linux-amd64
    gnu.linux-ppc64
    gnu.linux-s390
    gnu.linux-x86
    unix.freebsd-x86
    unix.hpux-parisc
    unix.netbsd-x86
    unix.openbsd-x86
    unix.osx-ppc
    unix.solaris.sparc
    unix.solaris.x86
    unix.uss-s390
    win.2000-x86
    win.2003-x86
    win.nt-x86
    win.xp-x86

Only one format is currently used for NodeBrain software release files.

  • tar.gz (Compressed tar file for GNU/Linux, Unix, or Windows)
Documents are released in PDF format only. As of release 0.6.4 we are releasing individual document files to make it easier to view them from the file release system.
  • nb-0.6.4-doc.Document.pdf
