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.
