Re-install all APPs in one push after restore new firmware and JB/Active/Unlock

Reported by: reinstall Owned by: saurik

Description

Hi, I have two questions.

(A) Can you add a feature to Cydia to pull the list of current installed APPs from Iphone into a PC? (B) Can you add a feature to Cydia to read this list to re-install all APPs in one push after restore new firmware and JB/Active/Unlock?

I am sure that millions of JB Iphone users who will be very happy to use such features to avoid manually re-install APPs one by one after upgraded to new firmware.

You can do it already with the console tools: Use "dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt" on the original system. Copy the "selections.txt" file to your target system Run "dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt" on the target system to tell it which packages you want installed. Finally, "apt-get dselect-upgrade" will download and install the packages.

Perhaps saurik should decide whether to include this feature in the Cydia GUI.

I think the functionality like Export/Import list of installed packages can be placed in Configure /Options/ part. This part doesn’t exist yet, but is necessary to have it. The same place can have Add/Remove sources. The Exported list can be with fixed filename and path. There is nothing wrong with it.
