Hello everyone!

 

Does anyone know how you can add a postinst/postrm/preinst/prerm file to a project?

 

Thank you!

Lol, nice

@@Chrizk0 where do you put the postinst file?

In the same directory your control file is either Project folder or DEBIAN

So you just create the new postinst file and it'll auto be included in the project? No need to include it in makefile or something?

@@DiDA here I ripped it from I one of my PM's to Javi

 

 

 

To encode and clean up the data of your project

• I recommend creatng a folder 'deb' in /var/mobile

• Inside you create another individual folder com.yourname.name so com.javitech.bravefrontier1.2.4.1 for you

• You may already know after compiling your project there is a new folder '__'. Copy both the DEBIAN and LIBRARY folder and paste them in your com.yourname.name folder

• Open the control file in DEBIAN and you can give your Tweak a final polish like removing the annoying number after the version. You can also add additional info like Homepage: http://iOSGods.com and in the Cydia package information will be a new pane for your website

• Open MobileTerminal and type in

su
alpine
cd /var/mobile/deb
dpkg-deb -Z lzma -b com.yourname.name          // lzma is a higher compression level therefore it will be unable to unarchieve

• A new .deb is in /var/mobile/deb now

 

 

 

Add a custom installation text

• Go into the DEBIAN folder again

• Create a new file 'postinst' // No extension just a regular file

• Open the file and type

#!/bin/sh
echo      
echo "Something cool castix made"
echo
echo "U mad bro?"
echo
echo "Visit iOSGods for cookies"
echo
exit 0

Only 'echo' creates a space between the text. You can add as many lines as you want

 

Again you can compile with the encoding method above

Thanks! So I'm going to have to manually package the .deb because theos doesn't seem to work with it?
