Just a quick memo, please enter all bug reports and feature requests into the project tracker for me from now on! The project tracker is available here: Touch Toolset - Project Tools

This will help me be more organized and better communicate with you the status of the development. You will (soon) see a few bugs and feature plans to be added there, please feel free to add your inputs etc. to it for me too!

Thanks!

Feature Request: Please input an option that allows everything to be added to our repo the second that it is put on the site. Kind of like the Add/Remove All Packages in a catagory. But to add all packages, total, and the second they come on the site thanks.

I want to add an entire source to my installer source url.
If thats possible then i'll use this more often since I like to see whats in the whole repo rather than just certain packages.

Im greedy. Add them all... meaning add all the packages! That would be a hot feature. I'm going to post this reply knowing I emphasized the wrong word.

Package download failed actually means the server that is housing the package is down at the time. Keeping in mind that we don't actually host any files, we copy the XML from the package's original XML. As such, if their server goes down, you will still see the packages, but you won't be able to download from them until their server gets back up. I'm noticing ... I think Ste's packages are being updated almost on an hourly basis in the server logs right now, so I'm suspecting they're still recovering from their server issue from earlier this week. Simply try again after a few hours to see if the problem resolves itself.

The current database structure does not allow it as it is built with security in mind. This is mentioned several times but I will re-iterate again. As there have been malicious packages released to the public with intentions of deleting important applications and or 3rd party softwares, I don't want to have to deal with the mess of having to tend to hundreds (currently 380+) or even thousands of angry iPod Touch / iPhone users. As such, I only add sources that I deem relatively safe, trustable, or have been vouched for by people I've talked to quite a bit and deem trustable/able to provide reliable information. When a source is added to the tracker, it crawls what is on the source, and if a matching package is found locally, it checks whether or not the one on source is newer. If so, it updates the local package database, and in turn updating everyone's personalized sources. As multiple sources tracks the same thing (IE: stack, ps4iphone, term-vt, HP Calculators, etc. acctually appears on two sources we have in system, and are most likely on more other sources), so we don't track source's specific details, but only what is latest. As such, adding entire source is not possible.

I'm looking into developing a separate database where you can just append any source you want to your personalized repo. However, this will most likely not be provided with any support, as there can be many many different kinds of problem (liability, security, device safety etc.) with an open system like that. I will also need to find a big legal eagle to help me write a big nasty terms of service before I can allow anyone to start using that system -- to cover my own ass, bluntly put.

Well... You can do that right now by going through each category and clicking on the add all link... But that still takes some time due to the sheer
amount of packages we have. When I was testing the stability of the system with some other testers, it took a while to do a neatly crafted script that will allow me to add all packages to his source, so there is already a script that does that, but it was litterally command line only, and had no web interface for it. I suppose I can hack up some interface for it, too... Can you please note it into the project tools for me as a feature request?
