Gopher - USB installer for iPod and iPhone devices

==================================================
1. Purpose
---------Gopher is a tool that gathers applications from a list of repositories,
creates a local repository from chosen applications and transfers all
the necessary files to the iPod through USB. It configures the AppTapp
Installer to install packages from those local files.
Benefits:
- no wireless connection is needed to install the applications
- it is faster to refresh and download the applications on a PC
- it is easier to browse through the applications
- more to come...

CAUTION
##########################################################################
While this program takes as many precautions as possible (tests and backup
of files), it directly modifies files used by the Installer. Should
something bad occur, it could leave the Installer in a bad state a need
manual intervention to solve the issue.
SINCE IT IS ONLY A FIRST ALPHA TEST VERSION, THE AUTHOR WILL NOT REPLY TO
ANY ENQUIRY AS TO HOW SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT HAPPENED USING THE PROGRAM. Use
it at your own risk!

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0
D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en
Which requires the following:

3. Installation
--------------Check that you have the latest source on this website:
http://code.google.com/p/igopher/
For now, just unzip the files in a directory and run the program from
there. You can modify the PackageSources.txt file to add or remove
repository sources.
4. Uninstalling Gopher
---------------------Remove the files, there is currently nothing special to be done to
uninstall the program.
5. User Guide
------------To be done.
6. Known Issues
--------------* The temporary directory created on the iPod to store the repository
is not properly removed when the user restores the original
PackageSources.plist file. It can be removed manually or left
until the files are overwritten by the next upload.
* When selecting a package, the contact of the Source section shows
the correct name, but contains the email of the application contact
(or the original repository) instead of the email corresponding
to the local Source. This is a bug of the Installer, not a bug of
the Gopher program.
Reporting bugs can be done on the project page:

7. History
---------* Version 0.2 (16-Feb-2008)
Just a little update, mainly the HTTP_USER_AGENT, and 1.1.3 firmware
support.
- Fixed username in 1.1.3 vs 1.1.2 and prior.
- Changed HTTP_USER_AGENT to "AppTapp Installer/3.0 (iPhone)" since
some repositories now ignore the previous versions of the Installer.

- Added Files/Create Script and Files/Clean Script (doesn't create the

script if already exists in Files/Export Script).
- Added support for repository "source" key value.
* Version 0.1 (10-Feb-2008)
First public test version. Contains only the basic functionalities to
download external repositories, browse applications and choose which
to install, and upload the resulting local repository to the iPod.
