How do I get it to automatically update to show new packages?

You can't automaticallly update the packages you have to open the package file do a return so you have a space between and add in your new .deb file. Then make a new packages.gz and then reupload them to your website.

Yeah I wonder how you get an icon..

Saurik has to add your icon in the Cydia build.

That sucks.

i keep getting this error when trying to create a .deb for my theme. it's my second package too.

"dpkg-deb: --build takes at most two arguments

Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages."

any help????

A little effort to the installation and its all good to go. Works fine here. And it look like a very nice app. However, if I upgrade the phone what do I do?

I keep getting an error on Step 12. Its saying that it can't find my program, but it is in the Apps folder? Anyone else getting this same problem.

Make sure you are using the name exactly like it appears in the apps folder (spacing and capitalization counts).

I can't add my repository to cydia. On my site I made a folder called cydia and put the files in it. When i got to add the source to cydia i put in http://scape-arts.com/cydia and it doesn't work. I tried other things to which didn't work. Any help?

Does anyone know, when making a Cydia repository, is there something i need to do on my website using FTP or is following the "how to create a cydia repository - wiki" tutorial on this website good enough to be able to get my repo up on cydia?

I am just curious as to if i did something wrong along the way or if i am missing something. On Step 19 it says "Upload the Release file to your repository to the same location as the deb folder, Package file and Package.gz archive."

My question is, i'm not really sure what my "repository" is. Is it something on my website, is it my actual website, or is it a folder of some sort. LOL! I'm sorry, this may be stuff you don't want to deal with, but i was able to complete steps 1 - 18 but step 19 has me stumped.

Thanks in advance!

You need to upload all the files and folders via FTP. If you follow the guide, you should be successful. You mentioned that you were able to complete steps 1-18. Then step 19 is an extension of step 18 because all you are doing is uploading the Release text file you created to your repo.

Your repo is a folder on your domain where the repo files/folders are contained. A depiction of a typical, basic repo can be seen in the step 19 screenshot. The most simplest for you may be the following example: http://www.stephaniel26.com/cydia. In this example you will put all the files/folders in the cydia folder (via FTP) on your domain.

I hope that helps.

Thank you Maximus for your advice.

Although, when i try i add my repository to the sources in cydia, this is what i get:

"Did not find Repository: The indicated repostitory could not be found. This could be because you are trying to add a legacy Installer repository (these are not supported). Also, this interface is only capable of working with exact repository URL's. If you host a repository and are having issues, please contact the author of Cydia with an questions you have."

I know Saurik is really busy right now, so any help you can provide would be great. I am trying to hardest to get this right but i can't seem to do it. If you need any of the info i have typed on the "control" or "release" file please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

What is the URL of your repo? What files are in the folder?

[stephaniel26]

I'm working on trying to do a few things... but so far i am confused.

Honestly, the guide is too exact and has too many screenshots to be confusing. If you do exactly what the guide says, you should have your repo. Your repo folder should consist of the EXACT same folders and files that you see in step 19. If it doesn't look EXACTLY like that, you are not following the guide. No where in my guide does it say to "upload the DEBIAN and Library folder via FTP to the "root" or in another folder somewhere via FTP". I have no idea where you came up with that one.

If I were you, I would start over and follow the guide exactly.

Okay, i didn't mean your guide was confusing, i meant i was confused about what i could have done wrong because I followed everything to a T. I apologize for wasting your time.
