Sidia (Based On Reposi3)

A Sileo / Cydia repository template. This template contains samples on how you can easily make depiction pages without replicating your html pages. The pages are styled using Bootsrap which is really easy to use (for Cydia), and the Sileo pages are styled using JavaScript Object Notation.

This guide does NOT cover creating .deb files but will briefly cover assiging depictions.

Adding a simple depiction page (Cydia)

Go to the depictions folder and duplicate the folder com.sukarodo.oldpackage. Rename the duplicate with the same name as your package name. There are 2 files inside the folder - info.xml and changelog.xml. Update the 2 files with information regading your package. The tags are pretty much self-explanatory. Contact @sukarodo for questions.

info.xml.

    <id>com.sukarodo.oldpackage</id>

Adding a simple depiction page (Sileo)

Go to the /sileodepictions/com.sukarodo.samplepackage and copy the file depiction.json. Move into a folder labeled as your package name. Edit The Labeled Parts (i.e. VERSION_NUMBER, TWEAK_NAME, etc.) Contact @sukarodo for questions.

Link the depiction page in your tweak's `control` file

You can add the depictions url at the end of your package's control file before compiling it. The depiction line should look like this:

Depiction: https://username.github.io/repo/depictions/?p=[idhere]

Replace [idhere] with your actual package name.

Depiction: https://username.github.io/repo/depictions/?p=com.sukarodo.oldpackage

For Sileo Depictions, add the SileoDepiction key in your control file before compiling it.

SileoDepiction: https://username.github.io/repo/sileodepictions/com.sukarodo.samplepackage/depiction.json.json
````

#### Rebuilding the `Packages` file

With your updated `control` file, build your tweak.
*REMOVE THE PACKAGES FILE WITHIN FIRST*
Store the resulting `.deb.` file into the `/debs/` folder of your repo.
Build your `Packages` file and compress with `bzip2`.

run update.sh on Mac. (Move update & clean.sh from /assets/ to /*) Remove "update.sh" and "clean.sh" on Windows.

_Windows users, see [dpkg-scanpackages-py](https://github.com/supermamon/dpkg-scanpackages-py) or [scanpkg](https://github.com/mstg/scanpkg)._

#### Cydia / Sileo at last!

If you haven't done yet, go ahead and add your repo to Cydia / Sileo.
You should now be able to install your tweak into your own repo.

### Cleanup

Just a cleanup step, remove the debs that came with this template and re-run the commands on step 3. You can keep the sample depictions for reference but they're not needed for your repo.

## Sileo Extras

These are some extra things that can make your repository look even better on Sileo.

### Featured Packages (`sileo-featured.json`)

Change The Following Lines:

"url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sukarodo/Sidia/master/assets/Banners/RepoHeader.png", <---- The Package Banner "title": "Sample Package", <---- Your Package Name "package": "com.sukarodo.newpackage", <---- The Actual Package ```
