benefit #1 is more important than you may think...at least for some people

You're in the 1% Mik ...

I guess it goes without saying that for anyone with hd install or who is avoiding rebooting, uci's are preferable.

If I want to compile something on dsl, then I'll try to build it with PREFIX in opt and make a uci - though in the case of all that stuff in mplayer uci, that was quite an interesting project

It's good we now have these choices. Much better than the old days of .dsl only, eh?

definitely.

I have yet to really try unc in normal 'putering...maybe I'm just resistant to change. In any case, I agree with the original poster...more uci is a good thing =o)

ehhhh...... Mr Hat:
When I click on MyDSL no UNC shows up at all . Only UCI. Remember I use DSL 2.2b.

Try the repository through your web browser:

I would like to see .tar.gz to be replaced by UCI and .dsl be replaced by UNC.

I think something big would need to be done with the structure of the repository as the number of uci/unc applications increases. It seems as though the uci section has already grown too big to be a single category. Perhaps eventually uci and unc could be incorporated into the 'regular' categories....maybe color-code the extension types in the mydsl browser, or include the filename extensions? Just some thought off the top of my first-thing-in-the-morning-aint-had-a-coffee-kick-yet brain.
