Heres The Tutorial Link (http://modmyifone.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_A_Source_For_Installer.App)

Dude, your lying if your talking about shotgunfool's tutorial its shit.. Everyone knows that.. I've search this entire site in every archive so don't criticize me on Searching maybe you should try it.. :)

Apple iBump. will be released soon if no one gets to my thread! :mad:

I will start researching this more in depth latter on today as I have some ideas I would like to give to the community. Looking at the XML doesn't seem to difficult, my problem will be with the actual packaging. If/when I find something I will post back here in your thread. Eventually I'll make a refined tut for it.

I did it following the link fr0z3nic3 (http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/member.php?u=46459) provided...

Dude, I just don't need the criticism right now, if I post a thread I've searched already.. I'm not a noob okay, I've posted at least 100 times okay.. I don't need anyone telling me to search.. :rolleyes:

once again sry... just trying to help here. but i am very sorry.

(thank you this is what i mean to say earlier on) but this still have potential!!!

Ok guys...but you didn't answer any questions!
following the guide in the link provided by fr0z3nic3 (http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/member.php?u=46459) I was able to have my repository:
- index.php
- repository.plist
- /plists folder
- /zips folder
- /info folder (addictional)

Now...packaging!
I tried with a eBook... I have my .htm files in my ebook folder...now:
1) I made a zip file: any particular expedient to make zip files?
2) I made the plist file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

I upload all the file on my website, I installa source in installer.app and... voilà! my book!

Now, guru dei miei stivali, how can I fix it? where did I go wrong?
