I must be a haxx0r now. I managed to brick my iPhone yesterday after installing some stuff, so I had to restore it from scratch. Once it was restored, I jailbroke it again with ZiPhone, and went to install BSD & ssh again, but those apps aren’t listed anywhere in the package lists. I tried updating the URL of “Ste Packaging” (site) to http://repo.smxy.org/iphone-apps/ as detailed here, and also added http://ride4.org/shai.xml as a new source as noted here - that source links to a ton of other sources, and so I was hoping that it would make the BSD package available again.

No dice. No BSD package. It seems some others are having the same problem. What gives?

I found a couple of references to Cydia Package Manager and the “Fake BSD Subsystem”… Installed Cydia… And Mobileterminal… And I’m in. Nice.

One thing that really bugs about the basic Installer.app is that you have no way of knowing which category a package is in, so if someone says “install openssh”, you have to poke around through all the categories in the hopes of finding it. Cydia has a search button - awesome!
