Go to the depictions folder and duplicate the folder com.sukarodo.oldpackage. Rename the duplicate with the same name as your package name. There are 2 files inside the folder - info.xml and changelog.xml. Update the 2 files with information regading your package. The tags are pretty much self-explanatory. Contact @sukarodo for questions.

Go to the /depictions/native/com.sukarodo.samplepackage and copy the file depiction.json. Move into a folder labeled as your package name. Edit The Labeled Parts (i.e. VERSION_NUMBER, TWEAK_NAME, etc.)., use the Sileo Depiction Generator by @M4cs: SileoGen, or use any of the templates from popular repositories at /assets/Depiction Templates Contact @sukarodo for questions.

You can add the depictions url at the end of your package's control file before compiling it. The depiction line should look like this:

Depiction: https://username.github.io/repo/depictions/web/?p=[idhere]

Replace [idhere] with your actual package name.

Depiction: https://username.github.io/repo/depictions/web/?p=com.sukarodo.oldpackage

For Sileo Depictions, add the SileoDepiction key in your control file before compiling it.

SileoDepiction: https://username.github.io/repo/depictions/native/com.sukarodo.samplepackage/depiction.json

With your updated control file, build your tweak. REMOVE THE PACKAGES FILE WITHIN FIRST Store the resulting .deb. file into the /debians/ folder of your repo. Build your Packages file and compress with bzip2.

Windows users, see dpkg-scanpackages-py or scanpkg.

If you haven't done yet, go ahead and add your repo to your package manager. You should now be able to install your tweak from your own repo.

Just a cleanup step, remove the debs that came with this template and re-run the commands on step 3. You can keep the sample depictions for reference but they're not needed for your repo.

These are some extra things that can make your repository look even better on Sileo.
