Now that iOS 5 is publicly available, and a tethered jailbreak is possible on almost all iDevices that are capable of running iOS 5 (excluding the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S), those who are too impatient to wait for an untethered jailbreak to be released for iOS 5 (such as myself) have settled with tethered for now. Cydia developers have been hard at work bringing their apps, tweaks, themes and other packages up to date with iOS 5, and more are becoming compatible with the new iOS version every day. A compiled list of compatible, partially compatible, incompatible and unknown Cydia packages from what is known right now follows.
Starting with fully compatible packages which you may install on your jailbroken iDevice(s) running iOS 5 without hesitation:
