Anyone install Saurik's PDF patch yet?

I don't seem to be getting this Patch when going into Cydia.

I did however get something for App Sync! Is that what the patch is called?
 
I just installed the PDF Patch and the Warner patch was not included....

I've read that it is supposed to be...is that true? And if so, why wasn't it included then?

Thanks.

You've read wrong.
The Warner patch was just a warning.
The PDF Patch is a proper patch that fixes the exploit.
If you had the Warner patch installed, the PDF Patch removes it upon installation because it is redundant.
The PDF Patch supersedes the Warner patch.

Great thanks so much for clearing that up for me!
 
What's the source code for the patch? Or do I just search PDF in cydia and I'll find it?
 
I tried to use jailbreakme.com on my 3G after applying the PDF patch and after using the "slide to jailbreak" slider Safari just hangs at the background. Nothing seems to happen, which, I assume, is exactly what's suppose to happen when you have the PDF patch installed. So, there you go. Of course, maybe it hangs because my 3G is already jailbroken from jailbreakme.com. Idunno.

Thank you Sneezy for being our scapegoat, err I mean guinea pig ! :D
 
Ok, so here's a more complete test. I jailbroke both of my 3G iPhones using jailbreakme.com. On one of them I installed the PDF patch and the other I didn't. The one with the PDF patch installed doesn't do anything after I slide the "slide for jailbreak" slider. The one without the PDF patch installed allows me to jailbreak the phone again. It's clear enough to me that the patch works.

And DevTeam blog updated their blog with this exact test. Good to know it works.
