| =====Procedure===== | =====Procedure===== | ||
| - | COMING SOON | + | In the UNIX Public Directory you will find a **projects/ |
| + | There you will find two existing archives: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * archive1.zip | ||
| + | * archive2.tar.bz2 | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll probably want to make a copy of these to some working directory in your home directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Essentially, | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Figure out the format of each archive, and read up on the available tools for manipulating them | ||
| + | - Extract the contents of the two archives and study them (make sure you keep track of what is in which archive) | ||
| + | - Analyze the archive contents and find any corrupt or empty files. They are not needed. | ||
| + | - Arrange the remaining content by the following criteria: | ||
| + | * name the files smallest, small, big, biggest, and tack on the appropriate extension | ||
| + | * the smallest file will be whichever file represents the smallest/ | ||
| + | - Create a new archive, called **myarchive.tar** containing only these size-themed files. | ||
| + | * do NOT store any paths in the archive, just put the files at base level | ||
| + | - Compress **myarchive.tar** on second highest (on the best, not fastest end of the spectrum) compression level in gzip to create the appropriately named **myarchive.tar.gz** | ||
| + | * also use the **-n** argument to aid in the verification step below | ||
| + | - Submit **myarchive.tar.gz** using the submit tool. | ||
