Maybe it makes sense to change that plan? At least if would have saved
me some time :)

I'm not talking about deployment for end users, but deployment for
testing purpose. It probably will still take some time until a official
Qt Mobility 1.1 will be available for the N900, but I don't want to test
on device as early as possible.

Yes, that's my use case. The point is just that it's rather annoying an
error prone to copy over individual files. Once you want to remove them,
update them, etc. it's getting messy quite fast. Also testing on several
devices is much easier if you have a proper package.

>From a 3rd party developer POV it would be perfect to have official
experimental Qt Mobility packages in Maemo Extras-devel. Like it was
done with the Qt 4.7 packages. That way testing get much easier, you
reach a broader audience and get more feedback.

Of course, this needs time and work, so I can perfectly understand if
it's not feasible right now.

Anyways, I've created some hack-ish packages for my own purpose. If
someone else is interested in them, you can find them here[1]. Of course
use them at your own risk. They work for me, but that's all I know at
the moment.

Cheers,
Conny
