Okay. Now I'm at the step "Extract" after you upload the .zip to your server, which I have done. What file am I extracting, to where, and with what? I'm using Transmit to upload the files.

[xcsic]

Can anybody give me an answer on this? I'd really like to get my repo up ASAP.

well, wait do you mean the deb? what zip?

[xcsic]

The Archive.zip. I have it up on my server, but I'm not sure what to do with the steps "Then extract..." and "23. If it makes a folder called __MACOSX, just delete that. Also delete Archive.zip."

if it doesnt make a __MACOSX folder, skip it.

On which string I have to create the MD5 hash?

Okay, I have a question. It probably won't be my last either.. it's pretty much the same as spark86's. What text or file am I supposed to be hashing in step 24?

Looks like a good guide. But I got one little problem. When I'm going to write the command:
dpkg-deb -b MyTheme
...I just get this message:
-bash: dpkg-deb: command not found

What do I have to do??

[spark86]

My problem is that when I try to run the application that I have just downloaded from the repository that I created, it doesn't starts because it was not signed!!!!!!!!!!
How can I fix this?

You need to have dpkg installed:

aptitude install dpkg

at least for debian-like (Debian, Ubuntu) systems...

The .deb file that you just created with

dpkg-deb -b

[isimagan]

I installed it, but I got another problem. I see that someone has looked for the same answers as me before, but I don't know about they have got any answers, not at this forum for sure.

Okey, I write in the code:

dpkg-deb -b MyProgram

but I get this message back:

sw/bin/dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `MyProgram/DEBIAN/control' near line 4:
 duplicate value for user-defined field `'

Can someone help me, please??

Okay, I think I'm done. Great guide, Alec! Just one more question. Right now I have one deb in my repository. Let's say it's an app. Say I want to add another app. Do I just drop in the new into the debs folder, and skip a line and update the existing packages file? Thanks again!

EDIT: Okay another problem.. I can't download my package - it's a WinterBoard theme. When I tap "Install" in Cydia, I see the black installing screen that says Running at the top, but nothing gets installed and it immediately goes to the "Return to Cydia" button with Complete at the top. There are no new themes in WinterBoard. What do I do wrong?
