I found that the "bosh init release <path>" generator didn't create a project that immediately worked with "bosh create release"; rather it just complained about something that I didn't understand. So I fixed that by fixing the generator. Except I like thor for my generators (not currently used by the CLI) and I wasn't sure if they'd be accepted upstream, so I started a new generator project to flesh out some ideas.

To create a new release project that works with "bosh create release" do something like:

gem install bosh-gen

bosh-gen new mynewthing --s3

bosh-gen new mynewthing --atmos

bosh-gen new mynewthing # defaults to local storage and warns you

cd mynewthing

bosh create release

… works! You still need to update config/*.yml files, but those files now educate you what attributes are needed, etc.

Repo is at https://github.com/drnic/bosh-gen

When its done, if you guys want the various generators merged back into the bosh CLI, I'll help with that.
