Why are there both tar.gz. and .dsl extensions. i read that .dsl are the tar.gz files with the extension renamed .dsl |

The extension's extensions are different because of the way they are installed. The mydsl-install script checks the extension to decide whether or not to run mkwriteable first (opens up more of the system for writing). If the extension is *tar.gz, mkwritable is not run, and the package is limited to writing in /opt, /tmp, and /home. This saves precious memory usage and prevents overwriting of vital system files. |
