We have told everyone that the new iPhone hosting repository would be online by the 5th of December, unfortunately we did not get the site done until this morning.
What we are doing is reaching out to all of the developers that hosted their apps with us in the past, by way of email. When you [...]
We posted our 400th package in our 2.0 Cydia repository today. I haven’t been posting updates in the main blog as much but that’s because it is now all automated in this neato web app. Just go here to see updates all the time. I have also added better stat tracking in the repository [...]
I have updated the repository section (finally). It now polls both repositories real time showing package details and download counts. You can see all the packages we host and information about each. You can even download them from the web interface and install using dpkg -i. Check it out!
Note: Remember 2.0 and 1.1.x repositories are [...]
Today, Cydia got a nice face-lift and some nice new features. The first can be seen when you enter the “manage” page. You will be given choices between mananging your packages and managing your sources. Note that manageing sources does not mean that you can add old installer sources. You still must have a valid [...]
There appears to be a major bug in Appstore / iTunes which is a service that is constantly running on the iPhone.I have had many issues with just using AppStore with a lot of apps installed. It takes often 10 or more minutes to try to install. It fails over and over and has to [...]
So the appstore has not impacted installer much. In fact, since the 11th the bandwidth for the repository has almost doubled. One of my hostings even closed me down today. Speculation could be that many folks are updating to 2.0 then having to downgrade and reinstall all their apps.
Added a BossPrefs control called “Dock Control”. This will allow you to toggle on and off Dock from within BossPrefs.
Added a new version of TouchPad Pro v4.44. This adds Spanish language and adds GPL licensing notification to the about screen.
RepoName has been added to our repository. This version is an update to what [...]
If anyone is interested, I got a reason why dyndns turned off the DNS. Due to the nature of our setup, we had to use a webhop. The dns was disabled because dyndns thought the site was being ddos attacked. But it turns out it was not an attack just that the site was getting [...]
The community sources v3.85 solves the DNS issues I had. After you update, check your sources tab. If you have anything “untitled source” please refresh again, and again, and again, until these all go away. Sometimes it takes 2-3 refreshes. Once done, you should have no further issues and even China users can download again!
Dyndns.org has decided to block thebigboss.org without any explanation. This means my email and both repositories are currently down. I contacted their phone support and they will not answer questions and I must email abuse@dyndns.com to get any information.
