= NEODC Data Delivery = This page documents the procedure to follow when delivering data to NEODC. First, we need to have some data to send - these should be datasets that are 'completed'. '''Work in progress!''' 1. Copy the relevant datasets onto the disk. For each dataset: 1. Make sure everything is where it should be! (see [wiki:Procedures/DataFlow this wiki page] for the layout) 1. Add a copy of the relevant trac ticket(s) - save these as html (including images) and put in the admin/ subdir. 1. Write a README.txt that explains: 1. The layout of the disk and what's on it 1. Any additional information that'll help explain unusual files/dirs 1. Scan the filesystem for any 'bad' things and fix them: 1. delete any unnecessary files - backups of DEMs that weren't used, temp files created by gedit (~ at end of filename), etc 1. Remove executable bit on all files (except bin/az* and the run[aceh] scripts) -> `find -type f -not -wholename '*bin/az*' -and -not -regex '.*/run[aceh]/.*sh' -and -perm /a=x -exec chmod a-x {} \;` 1. Find all files/dirs with unusual characters (space, brackets, etc) - use `find -regex '.*[^-0-9a-zA-Z/._].*' | ~arsf/usr/bin/fix_naughty_chars.py` to give suggested commands, but check first 1. Give everyone read permissions (and execute if it has user execute) for the current directory and below - `chmod -R a+rX .` 1. Create a filelist (`find -ls > file_list.txt`) 1. Copy the README and filelist to the USB stick associated with the disk. 1. Print out and attach listings & README to the logbook. 1. Package up the disk, USB stick and log book nicely and post to NEODC at the address below: {{{ ARSF Data Archiving c/o Victoria Jay NERC Earth Observation Data Centre Space Science & Technology Dept.
