```
Note: If the release is `Alpha` , `Beta` , or `RC` (that is part of a `master` release), please use `OBS_BRANCH=master`.
The above step shall create OBS packages for Kata for various distributions that Kata supports and test them as well.
- Verify that the packages have built successfully by checking the [Kata OBS project page](https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects/home:katacontainers).
- Make sure packages work correctly. This can be done manually or via the [package testing pipeline](http://jenkins.katacontainers.io/job/package-release-testing).
You have to make sure the packages are already published by OBS before this step.
It should prompt you for variables to be passed to the pipeline:
```
BRANCH="<kata-branch-to-release>"
NEW_VERSION=<the-version-you-expect-to-be-packaged|latest>
```
Note: `latest` will verify that a package provides the latest Kata tag in that branch.
