mothman 2.0.0a7

Cydia/Sileo repo configurator/generator

mothman

Cydia/Sileo repository creation made ez. Inspired by repoman.

NOTE: This project is still WIP and in alpha stage.

Why?

repo.me, a modern Cydia repository template is awesome, and it really simplifies getting a repo up and running. But it becomes tedious to manually create descriptions for every single package(which is actually done twice, for both Cydia and Sileo). This project aims to automate the process of generating descriptions for all packages in a repo, as well as creating the Packages and Release file (without apt, especially on Windows).

Features

• Pure-Python dependencies, portable (no more wrangling with libapt.so on non-Debian platforms)
• Automate repository management, including adding Debian packages and generating depictions for them (certain fields can be customised)
• Adds Depiction and SileoDepiction keys to Packages file for you

Usage (WIP)

$ mkdir example && mkdir example/debs
$ cd example
# add your packages to debs folder
$ python -m mothman.scan -m debs

Depends

• python - At least version 3.6.
• python-dpkg - Debian package interface (already vendorised)
• arpy - Access ar archives

Install

python(3) -m pip install mothman

Build

All my python projects now use flit to build and publish. To build, do flit build.
