new Maemo Fennec nightly .install files

Some of you may have noticed that the Maemo Fennec nightly deb repositories now have multiple .install files:
Index of /pub/mozilla.org/mobile/repos/trunk_multi
Name Last modified Size Description Parent Directory - dists/ 22-Jun-2010 12:46 - trunk_multi_nightly_chinook.install 22-Jun-2010 12:43 306 trunk_multi_nightly_fremantle.install 22-Jun-2010 12:44 312 trunk_multi_nightly_fremantle_qt.install 22-Jun-2010 12:46 321
This is due to work done in bug 563767 (enable Maemo5 qt debs) and bug 563081 (deb repo updates with both chinook and fremantle).
Quick terminology table:
Device | OS Version | Maemo codename |
---|---|---|
N810 | Maemo 4 | Chinook |
N900 | Maemo 5 | Fremantle |
(The QT builds are a variant of the Maemo 5 builds, using the QT toolkit instead of GTK. If you don't know what this is, ignore it :)
These repos should be updated nightly with their corresponding builds. I have seen issues and confusion stemming from having multiple Fennec repos on a single device, so I tend to remove all Mozilla repos from the App Manager, uninstall Fennec+Mozilla Runtime, then click on the appropriate .install file.
Additional instructions available here.
(More QT repos will be available once bug 563770 (enable Maemo 5 QT l10n repacks) starts showing up in tonight's nightly builds.)
[EDIT]: I've renamed the .install files in bug 574104.
