iPhone PXL format goes dark
The iPhone Package and eXtension Library (PXL) was the open source community's response to Nullriver's wildly popular Installer.app. It worked with the iBrickr tool on Windows and Breezy tool on OS X. During its heyday, it enjoyed mild success but the release of iPhone firmware 1.1.1 put the first nails in its coffin. Breezy stopped development. iBrickr has not yet been updated to support 1.1.1.
The main PXL repository has closed up shop. A note on its main page states that Extremis, the repository maintainer, will no longer be maintaining the PXL packages. Since no volunteers have stepped forward to pick up the reins, the PXL project is for all purposes dead.
