MOSS WSP solution-Stsadm

believe me I suffered alot,our client decided to implement a new menu item via WSP solution,which went into many versions ...and testing it was horrible eveytime I need to go retract ,delete,deactivate the feature and then activate it ...finally I decided that I'll try to find out sts command which really my time and saved me to get mad

I'll start with adding a new template in WSS site

for more technical details
1)CD\
2)CD \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN
3) stsadm -o addtemplate -filename " E:\PS-Admin-Work \stpfilename" -title "Test Workspace Title"
4)then IISRESET
