Trying to Set Up a Cydia Repo With Amazon s3

Question

I have been recently been trying to set up a cydia repository using Amazon AWS S3 service. I have uploaded the required files to get this to work and yet it still does not. My file structure is

Release
Packages.gz
Packages
mydeb.deb

These files are all in the same folder and the Packages.gz is linked correctly.

When I try to add the repository to Cydia I get a HTTP 404 error saying it could not find Packages.gz. Any comments?

Answer 1

I had the same issue, and found a workaround.

Sync all files to s3://[your_bucket]/./

AmazonS3 is a simple KVS(Key-Value Store). Maybe Cydia requests http://[repo-url]/./Packages.gz, but S3 can't resolve /./.
