John Smith	Thursday 14 February 2008 6:10:12 am Hi There, Hope someone can help me. To extract the package named as file.ezpkg, I used tar -xzf file.ezpkg, it worked very well. Just want to know the right command to archive or zip it back properly. Please Help. Regards John Smith...
Heath	Thursday 14 February 2008 6:34:35 am Try compressing the package directory as you would normally. # tar -vzcf ezauthorize.ezpkg path/to/ezauthorize/extension/package/directory; Cheers, Heath Brookins Consulting \| http://brookinsconsulting.com/ Certified \| http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/380350 Solutions \| http://projects.ez.no/users/community/brookins_consulting eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org
John Smith	Thursday 14 February 2008 6:53:23 am Is this command to archive(zip) the directories, sub-directories and files back into file.ezpkg??
Heath	Thursday 14 February 2008 7:55:24 am Yes. The most important key I have seen with respect to ezpkg format is the directory structure.
