Submission Information

Instructions for using the submit program

1. Log on an elaine (not a raptor).
2. Place the source code files, a Makefile if you used one, and any documentation (in a file called README) in a single directory of the Leland file system. We will henceforth call this your work directory.
3. Make sure that
• all the code you wrote is in a file ending in .c, or .h.
• Your makefile is called Makefile or makefile.
4. cd to your work directory, i.e. cd within your work directory.
5. Execute the submit program by typing

/usr/class/cs248/assignments/assignment0/submit

Just follow the on-line instructions from then on.

If you encounter an error due to insufficient disk space, then go to step 1, and try submitting using another elaine.

After you submit your work: a short FAQ

1. What does submit do to my account?

submit just packages the source code you wrote, along with your scene files and any optional on-line documentation, and mails it to our account. It doesn't change any file or directory permissions.

2. I made a few last-minute changes. Can I execute submit again?

You should normally execute submit just once, after you are 100% sure you are done with your assignment. If there is a catastrophe, and you end up executing it twice (or heaven forbid thrice!), we will only take into account your most recent submission, ignoring all previous ones automatically. But please avoid multiple submissions!

3. How do I know whether submit completed successfully?

Unlike other submission programs you may have used, submit does not send out an e-mail message notifying you of successful completion of the submission process. submit has done its job if it has executed without any errors.

4. Do I need to keep around my personal copy of the work directory after submitting?

You may clean up your account, and eliminate all assignment-related files, anytime after submitting your work. However, we strongly suggest that you do not do so before the end of the quarter.
