Uploading packages to Cydia sources is always a cumbersome task. Here’s a new tool called iRepoManager that will mend all your tweak uploading woes. Download below.

What is iRepoManager?

Generally, uploading tweak and theme files to Cydia repositories eats up a lot of time. This holds true especially for developers who host their packages on GitHub.

It is not uncommon for developers to spend over half an hour to get a single package online. This is where this new tool comes in.

iRepoManager is n GUI-based automatic Debian package uploader for tweak developers. It is developed by iPwned, who is a newcomer on the jailbreak scene.

Here’s a list of its salient features –

• Upload Debian packages to sources or repositories at the click of a button.
• Automatic unpacking of Debian files.
• Automatic checking of md5, sha1, sha256 hashes without user intervention.
• Creation of bz2 archives from Debian files.

How is it useful?

An automatic package uploader is of immense importance for tweak/theme developers and repository managers.

The developers can now focus all their efforts on developing tweaks instead of managing their Cydia repository.

Remember, you don’t need to use iRepoManager if you are an average user. It is geared specifically towards developers and repo maintainers.

The future versions might include tweak compilation feature as well. Unfortunately, there will be no macOS version of this tool. However, if you want to port it to macOS, you can contact the developer.

If you own or maintain a repository, this tool is absolutely indispensable. You can download it using the link below.
