Preparation of data for burning

A template file structure for the 2006 data delivery is at ~arsf/arsf_data/2006/delivery_template/. You need to create a copy on pmpc886 (where the DVD burner is). The easiest way to do this is to use a little script.

1. ssh pmpc886
2. ~arsf/usr/bin/delivery_prep_2006.sh PROJECTCODE JULIANDAY
3. change dir to the newly created delivery directory Note: this directory will be created in /tmp, which is automatically deleted after 3 days''
4. Copy in:
   1. the level-1 files to lev1/
   2. the logsheet to logsheet/
   3. the screenshots to screenshots/
5. edit the Read_Me.txt-MUST_EDIT file
   1. (list of things to change)
   2. copy the Read_Me.txt to the original project directory (~arsf/arsf_data/2006/...) as a backup and so we can refer to it later
6. Burn the data (more info at Tools/DVD_burning?)
   1. mkisofs -R -udf -verbose -o /tmp/dvd.iso -V <ARSF-PROJECTCODE-JULIANDAY> <delivery_directory>
   2. cdrecord dev=/dev/dvdwriter -sao fs=100m driveropts=burnfree -v /tmp/dvd.iso
   3. rm /tmp/dvd.iso

Final steps

1. Get someone else to check the DVD
2. Print out cover letter, instructions (Readme?)
3. Post to user
4. Create a trac support ticket noting that the data has been delivered and that we should contact the user in a week to ensure it's arrived and is ok
