new Maemo Fennec nightly .install files

Some of you may have noticed that the Maemo Fennec nightly deb repositories now have multiple .install files:

[   ]trunk_multi_nightly_fremantle_qt.install22-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:

DeviceOS VersionMaemo codename
N810Maemo 4Chinook
N900Maemo 5Fremantle

(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.
