Ste Packaging

I am moving the database and the scripts to another system and rebuilding the data. When I’m done, I’ll make the stats page visible again. It should only take a day or so.

Update: Scratch that idea. Apparently, using an image file for a Xen Virtual Machine’s disk is okay for certain things, but not for a database that you want to load 102 million log entries into. Talk about being insanely slow … I’ll have to allot a real disk partition to it, but not right now. Don’t mind me. I’m having fun. Sometimes you learn the most about something when you screw it up and have to redo it. :)

As reported by Erica Sadun over at TUAW, Apple has released the 1.1.4 firmware. No sooner had I posted [a comment on her blog entry] that I thought folks should wait to see what Zibri came up with for a 1.1.4 jailbreak, as I thought his was technically the most correct of the various 1.1.3 jailbreaks, Erica reported that Nate True had run Zibri’s existing 1.1.3 jailbreak on his 1.1.4 iPhone and it worked. Jailbreaking works, but he has not tested activation or unlocking yet, both of which he suspects are broken until Zibri updates “ziphone” for 1.1.4. This is all great news. I recommend that everyone just hold off a little bit, until Zibri has said he’s updated it for 1.1.4 and then go for it. If you check his blog, you’ll see he’s working on doing that, right now. :)

Nate reported that after jailbreaking it, Installer.app thought OpenSSH was still installed, even though it no longer was, and that he couldn’t uninstall it (main script execution failure). I have released an update to OpenSSH that anyone with this issue can update to. If you update to it before you jailbreak your 1.1.4 iPhone, then you should be able to uninstall it ok, via Installer.app, even though it’s gone, as it will now ignore the error it gets when it tries to stop the now-missing daemon. You can then simply reinstall it. If you already jailbroke it and can’t uninstall it, just upgrade to the new version and you’re all set to go. Nate says the root password is still “alpine”.

UPDATE: In comment #132 on Erica’s blog entry, mentioned above, Zibri says:

“I already found everything..
I just need to recompile, check new offsets, do a test and release.
Expect a new version in a day.”

I’ve just added and/or updated the following application packages for the iPhone & iPod Touch:

NOTE: Assume that Installer.app, version 3.0 (or higher - and NOT 3.0b followed by a number), is required for proper installation of all packages I produce.

1. [upd] OpenSSH (4.6p1-2) [See my notes, below.]

OpenSSH notes:

• Fixed issue preventing it from being “uninstalled” when it wasn’t really there anymore, having been wiped out in a firmware upgrade.
• If you upgrade your firmware and can’t “uninstall” the old OpenSSH, just upgrade to this one.
• If you update your OpenSSH to this version before you upgrade your firmware, you should be able to “uninstall” this one afterwards, whereupon you can just re-install it.
