Sileo will soon stop ‘featuring’ packages from the BigBoss repository
In an unfortunate plough of events Fri morning, the Sileo Team announced via Twitter that it would no longer get got applications from jailbreak tweak developers to characteristic packages on the forepart page that are beingness hosted on the official BigBoss repository.
Instead, the Sileo Team alluded that only packages beingness mirrored
by the Essentialis Repository together with the those hosted past times the third-party Chariz
and Dynastic Repo repositories would endure eligible for beingness featured on Sileo’s front
page. Consequently, the Sileo Team adds that developers should host inwards those
repositories instead of BigBoss.
Citing the Sileo team, the deed is purportedly all almost “streamlining” the experience for users. Some get got expressed their reservations almost this elucidation, including rootlessJB 3.0 developer Jake James, who responded amongst the comment that Sileo was “trying to kill BigBoss.”
Hacker together with unc0ver Pb developer Pwn20wnd presently chimed inwards every bit well:
To clarify inwards example at that spot was whatever confusion, this doesn’t hateful that Sileo volition terminal hosting BigBoss-related jailbreak tweaks. It simply agency that the bundle director won’t display featured ads on the homepage for tweaks that the BigBoss repository hosts.
The Sileo Team responded to the commotion amongst the next words:
For what it’s worth, the Sileo Team volition driblet dead on featuring existing packages from the BigBoss repository, at to the lowest degree until the
This isn’t the inaugural off fourth dimension that the Sileo Team has sucker-punched the BigBoss repository. The inaugural off low-blow came at the offset of the twelvemonth when nosotros learned that Sileo wasn’t letting the BigBoss repository serve whatever ads to its users. This effectively prevented the BigBoss repository from making whatever ad-based revenue from Sileo users.
As you lot mightiness come upward to expect, this determination was met amongst enough of backlash from prominent jailbreak developers. Consequently, the Sileo Team changed its tune, adding that they would permit the BigBoss repository to display simply i advertizing inwards the side past times side beta preview version. Notably, that update yet hasn’t surfaced.
The BigBoss repository is the final master copy jailbreak repository
standing next the
archival of the ModMyi together with ZodTTD/MacCiti repositories. With that inwards mind, it’s
our humble reckon that the community should endure doing everything possible to
help the BigBoss repository stay afloat, fifty-fifty if that agency featuring the
occasional bundle hosted there.
At the fourth dimension of this writing, Sileo is yet inwards its beta stages, together with there’s no ETA concerning when that mightiness change. It’s besides worth noting that the Sileo bundle director is alone available on the Electra jailbreak, but anyone (jailbroken or not) can straight off install the Sileo Demo to run across how the bundle director looks together with feels on their device(s).
