Installer 4 screenshots for Jailbroken iPhone 3G

Installer 4 screenshots for Jailbroken iPhone 3G. The RiP Dev team that brought us the first Installer application for jailbroken iPhones, has posted an update on their blog stating that Installer 4 is in development and should be available in the near future. They are currently in the final stages of hooking the GUI to the back-end. In addition, Installer 4 now uses the new repository structure which is aimed at minimizing the traffic for both repo owner and the user, as well as expands the standard a little bit.

Each package (a .zip file) now must contain a .plist file inside describing the package - including install/uninstall scripts, description, version, identifier, dependencies, and so on. It may also contain a png icon to be displayed as the package icon in the Installer.When the repository owner puts the file in the repository directory tree (in the appropriate folder for the category), the repository engine does the rest - automagically extracts the plist (and the package icon) from the package archive, parses it, puts in the appropriate places and gets it ready to be served to Installer.
