Other Help Topics :: UCI extensions to UNC extensions

Hello everybody!

Is it possible to convert UCI extensions to UNC extensions? If it is and someone knows how I'm very eager to know. Thanks in advance!

Have fun with DSL,

I haven't used UNC's yet, but maybe this can help.

There are probably several ways of doing it, but you can
- mydsl-load ext.uci
- files will be in /opt/ext
- ie. find /opt/ext > ext_files.txt <-- don't include user.tar.gz
- you can add the files in user.tar.gz (if it exists), which is treated like a regular mydsl extension
This should get you all the data and filelists needed to build a new extension.

Following the guide in creating uci extension on the section of updating/editing them should help.

There would be no point to convert UCI to UNC.
UCI type extensions enjoy a feature that UNC cannot.
Both are mountable extensions, but UCI by definition is totally self-contained.
Being so, means it can be mounted and umounted at will. That is why we have a ucitool as a right click option under the MyDSL icon.

Since .tar.gz is also self contained under /opt, it would make sense to convert .tar.gz to UCI. And .dsl to UNC.

In due time, this will likely happen. It took along time for users to begin to use UCI, so too for UNC.

I posted instructions on how to make a .dsl into a .unc and WDef took those instructions and posted a script dsl2unc

Currently the repository has separate sections for UCI and UNC, so it will take some reorganiztion to move forward.

Hi again!

Thanks for fast feedback. Anyway UNC-files are imperative for my purposes. I'll investigate further.

Have fun,

Hi there!

If you check out my last remastering HOWTO you'll understand my interest in unc-files instead of uci-files.

Have fun,
