Thanks guys.

If I just enter tar -cf ( or tar cf my tar version accepts both, you do not strictly need the f either. ) it complains about not being in zip format. tar -czf or -czvf it can then read in the files i.e. it now knows about the folders assets etc. The oar compression format is tar.gz.

Frustrating sometimes.

shouldn't there be a '-'sign in front of your paramaters of the tar-command ?
no, that's not necessary with most tars.

I found out that using 'tar c folder archivename' just produces garbage .. :|
hmm, that should have been "tar cf archivename folder"

Subject: [Opensim-users] Creating oar file from folder

I am trying to generate a oar file based upon the folder from a
decompressed file. I am using the command

tar cvzf myoarfile.tar.gz * from with the folder itself ( this is now
readable). What am I doing wrong?

path assets/ since it's missing the separator _. Skipping

I have also tried tar cvzf myoarfile.tar.gz oldoarfolder/ It then
ignore all the folders within the oar file.

Thanks
