Some notes on processing .zip files received from the field:

Archiving, unpacking, and checking the data

wolonchete/ and wonchi/ are rsynced to worldliteracy.media.mit.edu

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ ls wolonchete/ wonchi/
wolonchete/:
2012-03-30  results.txt            wolonchete_2012-05-27  wolonchete_2012-06-24

2012-03-08  2012-04-20  wonchi_2012-05-10  wonchi_2012-06-14
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ 

Note that some of these directories have prefixed. The unprefixed versions are guesstimated dates -- we originally recorded the date the USB key arrived at OLPC. We fixed that and started recording the collection dates. The prefixed directories have the actual collection dates. The unprefixed directories are named with our best guess at the collection date.

The archive/ directory contains zip files copied from the data collection keys. There should be two files per usb key (a wolonchete .zip and a wonchi .zip). BE SURE to verify that contents of .zip file match the name, so you don't inadvertently overwrite something.

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ ls archive
wolonchete_2012-06-03.zip       wonchi_2012-05-31.zip
wolonchete_2012-06-10.zip       wonchi_2012-06-07.zip
wolonchete_2012-06-17.orig.zip  wonchi_2012-06-14.zip
wolonchete_2012-06-17.zip       wonchi_2012-06-21.zip
wolonchete_2012-06-24.zip

These are the two most recent files received from Ethiopia:

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ ls ~rsmith/w*.zip

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ 

Note that the directory name does match the .zip file name. (We should check the wonchi file, too.) Good.

Now let's unzip the files:

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ cd
cscott@hydro:~$ mkdir temp ; cd temp
cscott@hydro:~/temp$ unzip /home/rsmith/wonchi_2012-06-28.zip 
cscott@hydro:~/temp$ unzip /home/rsmith/wolonchete_2012-07-01.zip 

We're going to check for duplicates:

cscott@hydro:~/temp$ cp ~rsmith/bin/rdfind ~/bin
cscott@hydro:~/temp$ rdfind wolonchete_2012-07-01/ wonchi_2012-06-28/
Now scanning "wolonchete_2012-07-01", found 13727 files.
Now scanning "wonchi_2012-06-28", found 7630 files.
Now have 21357 files in total.
Removed 0 files due to nonunique device and inode.
Now removing files with zero size from list...removed 36 files
Total size is 3198679889 bytes or 3 Gib
Now sorting on size:removed 6240 files due to unique sizes from list.15081 files left.
Now eliminating candidates based on first bytes:removed 3424 files from list.11657 files left.
Now eliminating candidates based on last bytes:removed 9294 files from list.2363 files left.
Now eliminating candidates based on md5 checksum:removed 2363 files from list.0 files left.
It seems like you have 0 files that are not unique
Totally, 0 b can be reduced.
Now making results file results.txt
cscott@hydro:~/temp$ 

Ok, this gives us confidence that there aren't gross errors in the data, like having the wonchi and wolonchete zips the same, etc. We should repeat the rdfind across the entire dataset (later) as well, to ensure that we don't have stale data here.

OK, this looks good. Let's move them into the ethiopia directory:

cscott@hydro:~/temp$ mv /home/rsmith/wonchi_2012-06-28.zip /home/rsmith/wolonchete_2012-07-01.zip /home/ethiopia/archive/
cscott@hydro:~/temp$ mv wolonchete_2012-07-01/ /home/ethiopia/wolonchete/
cscott@hydro:~/temp$ mv wonchi_2012-06-28/ /home/ethiopia/wonchi/

Normalize the permissions:

cscott@hydro:~/temp$ cd /home/ethiopia/archive/
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia/archive$ chmod 644 *
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia/archive$ cd ..
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ chown -R rsmith:literacy wolonchete/wolonchete_2012-07-01/ wonchi/wonchi_2012-06-28/
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ chmod -R g+w wolonchete/wolonchete_2012-07-01/ wonchi/wonchi_2012-06-28/

Now we're going to run rdfind across all of the data, in order to catch more errors:

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ rdfind wolonchete/ wonchi/

The output will be in a results.txt file.

Pushing the data into git

Make sure you have a copy of the git repo somewhere handy:

cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ cd
cscott@hydro:~$ git clone ssh://dev.laptop.org/home/literacy/git/data ethiopia-data
 or
cscott@hydro:~$ git clone ~rsmith/data/.git ethiopia-data
cscott@hydro:~$ cd ethiopia-data/
cscott@hydro:~/ethiopia-data$ git remote add dev ssh://dev.laptop.org/home/literacy/git/data

Add the ethiopia-data/scripts directory to your path:

cscott@hydro:~/ethiopia-data$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/ethiopia-data/scripts

You might want to be inside screen or tmux for the following, since it takes a long time:

cscott@hydro:~/ethiopia-data$ cd /home/ethiopia/
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ process_by_week.sh wolonchete/wolonchete_2012-07-01
cscott@hydro:/home/ethiopia$ process_by_week.sh wonchi/wonchi_2012-06-28/
