OpenRepo is an APT repository server, currently targeting jailbroken iOS devices. It can be used to (very easily) create a repository for use with Cydia or other APT frontends.

go get github.com/blakesmith/ar
go build

OpenRepo's configuration is an XML file stored at /etc/openrepo/config.xml. An auto-generated config will be created upon running OpenRepo for the first time.

mkdir /etc/oprenrepo
touch /etc/openrepo/config.xml

Here is an example config:

<Config>
    <HostPath>/</HostPath>
    <PackagePath>/opt/openrepo/packages</PackagePath>
	<Release>
	    <ReleaseEntry key="Origin">OpeniOS</ReleaseEntry>
    	<ReleaseEntry key="Label">OpeniOS</ReleaseEntry>
		<ReleaseEntry key="Suite">stable</ReleaseEntry>
		<ReleaseEntry key="Version">0.9</ReleaseEntry>
		<ReleaseEntry key="Codename">OpeniOS</ReleaseEntry>
		<ReleaseEntry key="Architectures">iphoneos-arm</ReleaseEntry>
		<ReleaseEntry key="Components">main</ReleaseEntry>
		<ReleaseEntry key="Description">OpeniOS Repository</ReleaseEntry>
	</Release>
</Config>

• Config
  • Root XML key
• HostPath
  • The URL path at which the repository will be hosted (e.g. for "/cydia", the repository would be hosted at "apt.yoururl.com/cydia")
• PackagePath
  • The directory in the filesystem where your Debian packages are stored
• Release
  • A collection of ReleaseEntry
  • ReleaseEntry
    • The "key" attribute is the name of an entry's key in the Release file, the data is the entry's value

To run OpenRepo:

sudo openrepo

To host a package on your OpenRepo server, simply place your deb file in your configuration's PackagePath directory!
