The Testing Area :: February Extensions

One thing though: aria.uci's user.tar.gz contain a symlink from /opt/aria2/bin/aria2 to /usr/bin/aria2.

This isn't a good idea because that symlink won't work unless mkwriteable has been run previously (ie another .dsl has been installed) and part of the idea of uci extensions is to avoid running mkwriteable as far as is possible.

Perhaps the maker might want to symlink that binary into /opt/bin? This is a better way to put it in PATH.

Thanks WDef - I never knew that. I was always putting all my symlinks in /usr/local/bin. Will get on it soon.

Edit: HEY! /opt/bin is not in the default path for user 'dsl' on 3.2RC3. How's the news from 3.3?

You might want to report that in the releases section if no-one else picks up on it here.

Both /opt/bin directory and in user DSL path for v3.3RC2.
Available real soon now.

Hi, I wish to download wvdial.dsl ; where do I need to go to to do this?

From http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....testing - next to hsfmodem.dsl
