				I'm interested in creating a dsl package for cron....
 
Is there a how to on creating dsl packages...
 
I've had a search and could not find one so thought it was time to ask..
 
Maybe the answer is as simple as "well they are just tar files".
 
 
Regards, Macka. |

				Wow, very close. dsl extensions are just tar.gz files.
 
 
application.dsl is a tar.gz file (renamed) that is allowed to write anywhere.
 
 
application.tar.gz is a tar.gz file that restricts writing to /opt, /home/dsl, /var and /tmp. Don't quote me on that.
 
 
application.uci is a read-only mountable file that mounts into /opt/application.  You can find instructions for creating one in the wiki.
 
 
Here are some links to some guides:
 
 
I know that is more than you asked, but I saw the questions coming. |
