 You should get some sort of confirmation indicating successful submission if all went according to plan. If not, check for typos and or locational mismatches.
-=====Verify=====
-<WRAP info>UPDATE: Turns out I forgot to consider the resulting timestamp of the final archive, so this verification process will **ONLY** work if you add the **-n** argument to **gzip** when you are doing the compression step (note you may be providing gzip with other arguments- you still want those too). With **-n**, timestamps are not included in the gzip header, which is what was causing the different MD5 sums. With this change, individual verification is now possible.</WRAP>
-A quick way to check and see if you did everything right is to compute the MD5sum hash of the archive and see if it matches mine:
-<cli>
-lab46:~$ md5sum myarchive.tar.gz
-cc247da7f4d4c4d29e8cc4dda2b03f10  myarchive.tar.gz
-lab46:~$
-</cli>
-That is MY md5sum of the archive, in accordance with the project requirements. If your archive's MD5 sum is **identical** to mine, then you can rest assured you did it right.
