Deploying application to Linux RT target from MAX

[gregoryng]

Hi there, I asked a slightly different question to the NI package manager board, but I think a simplified version of the question is that I can't figure out how to deploy a real-time application to the Linux RT target in MAX 21 the same way I did before in NI MAX 18.5 for the Pharlap Labview RT.

Previously, I would go here to install a startup application that I had built from a build specification in my labview project (Remote Systems -> PXI... -> Software -> Add/Remove Software):

I tried going here in MAX:

But when you go to Add/Remove Software, there isn't a way to pick one of the builds that I have built from my project, like there was before.

What is the preferred way to go about this?  I know I can deploy a startup application from inside my labview project, but my end goal is to provide my users with an application file (perhaps an ipk file?) and have them deploy it to their PXI real-time target in an easy-to-explain, repeatable manner.  

I had the idea that maybe I was meant to create a feed with a bunch of ipk files in it, and then the feed manager would figure out which version was available, but the response from the NIPM board (see thread linked above) makes me believe that maybe this isn't a very popular way of doing things.

Thanks for any assistance in learning the new environment,
