Other Help Topics :: How do you make a .dsl extension?
The wiki only has articles describing making a tar.gz and uci. I have made three, and they are in the testing repository.
I can't find anything about making a .dsl It is a pain in the ass to search, because if you include ".dsl", you get every article that contains DSL, and in a DSL forum that is alot.
So, are there any articles on making a dsl somewhere? Thanks.A *.dsl is created exactly the same as a *.tar.gz extension only the files can be in any directory and the extension is dsl instead of tar.gz. With a *.tar.gz you are limited to The /opt, /home, and /tmp directories....and it doesn't need to be compiled yourself. That article was only one way of creating extensions. You can use any method that works for you which will get your application running in DSL...even copying files directly from a different distro. There are some things to consider when building any myDSL, though, such as making sure the ownership/permissions of existing files and directories are not changed and (in my opinion) that existing files are not overwritten.
And pr0f, now I have a whole new place to get some docs. At least, there are a few pdfs in that directory that describe stuff that is not in the wiki. Thanks.Next Page...
