Helo.
Depending on your tar version, there's an option which allows you that. For instance, Solaris 9 tar man page says:
Code:
X Exclude. Use the exclude-file argument as a file con-
taining a list of relative path names for files (or
directories) to be excluded from the tarfile when
using the functions c, x, or t. Be careful of trailing
white spaces. Also beware of leading white spaces,
since, for each line in the excluded file, the entire
line (apart from the newline) will be used to match
against the initial string of files to exclude. Multi-
ple X arguments may be used, with one exclude-file per
argument. In the case where included files (see -I
include-file option) are also specified, the excluded
files take precedence over all included files. If a
file is specified in both the exclude-file and the
include-file (or on the command line), it will be
excluded.
Anyway, you could do something like:
Code:
touch /tmp/bck.tar && find /home/oracle/ddd[12] ! -name "*log" ! -name "*dmp" -type f -exec tar uvf /tmp/bck.tar {} \;
Hello,
I have a tar archive full of compressed .Z (compressed with the compress command) files. I have restored the tar to a disk but am looking for a way to uncompress every file in every sub-directory.

Hi,
I make a tar archive:
tar -czvf /path_to/cucu.tar.gz /path/dir_to_archive/
In the archive the /path/dir_to_archive/ is maintained for every file.
I need that the archive to be made without the /path/dir_to_archive/ to contain only the files in /path/dir_to_archive/.
Thanks,... (4 Replies)

make-jpkg
MAKE-JPKG(1) General Commands Manual MAKE-JPKG(1)NAME
make-jpkg - builds Debian packages from Java binary distributions
SYNOPSIS
make-jpkg [OPTION]... [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
make-jpkg builds a Debian package from the given Java distribution FILE.
Supported java binary distributions currently include:
* Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) :
- The J2SE Development Kit (JDK), version 6 (update >= 10), 7
- The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE), version 6 (update >= 10), 7
- The J2SE API Javadoc, version 6 (update >= 10), 7
(Choose tar.gz archives or self-extracting archives, do _not_ choose the RPM!)
The following options are recognized:
--full-name NAME
full name used in the maintainer field of the package
--email EMAIL
email address used in the maintainer field of the package
--changes
create a .changes file
--revision
add debian revision
--help display help text and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Download a supported Java RE or SDK or API tar.gz or self-extracting archive from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
and execute make-jpkg file with the downloaded file. The program asks the user for additional information and builds a Debian binary pack-
age in the current directory.
The program requires about 200 MB free disk space in a temporary directory. The temporary directory defaults to /tmp but you can specify an
alternate directory by setting the environment variable TMPDIR.
EXAMPLE
To install Oracle(TM) 7 Standard Edition JDK, download a release - 64 bits version of update 2 from http://www.oracle.com/technet-
work/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html in this example - and invoke make-jpkg:
make-jpkg <path_to_download_directory>/jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz
This generate a Debian package in the current directory, that can be installed using dpkg:
dpkg -i oracle-j2sdk1.7_1.7.0+update2_amd64.deb
When you're done, you can delete initial download as well as generated package:
rm <path_to_download_directory>/jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz oracle-j2sdk1.7_1.7.0+update2_amd64.deb
ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR base directory used for temporary files (defaults to /tmp)
J2SE_PACKAGE_FULL_NAME
full name used in the maintainer field of the package; if none is supplied then the default of "Debian Java Maintainers" is used.
J2SE_PACKAGE_EMAIL
email address used in the maintainer field of the package; if none is supplied the default of "pkg-java-maintain-
ers@lists.alioth.debian.org" is used.
