CoolStar Suspends Development of Sileo Package Manager for Jailbroken iPhones

CoolStar has announced that development of the Sileo package manager for jailbroken iPhones has been suspended.

The announcement was made on the official Sileo Discord channel this weekend. Apparently, a lack of developer contribution and support have led to this decision.

FYI Sileo's development has been suspended until further notice.

While I know some users appreciate Sileo and Chimera, it seems like the general community and several prominent developers consider it 'disposable' or not worth supporting.

Truth is though, it's been an eternity since any of the other Sileo developers have contributed much (so I don't know if they are going to contribute much), and my own mental health has severely deteriorated such that I don't really have the motivation or capacity to work on Sileo for quite a while. (And quite frankly I don't know if I really will get much motivation to work on it more).

It's possible Sileo's development may resume in the far future, but only time will tell

This decision should not affect support for currently jailbroken devices but it's unclear if Sileo will work with the upcoming iPhone X jailbreak.
