I guess it might be as simple as just pushing the debs to diablo repos with the web uploader here on maemo.org. That just requires the OS to have those two packages for it to work. Also i guess it needs to have the same /opt/myapp possibility and home/<user>/MyDocs folder for the data.

Following up since my father now has an N800 (I got three of 'em on eBay as part of a package not too long ago, and only needed two of 'em) and has some interest...

python2.5-qt4 appears to be available on the N8x0 devices. I'm not sure which repository, but I suspect it's maemo-extras (the only repository changes on my devices are Diablo Community SSU repository added and maemo-extras enabled). I haven't tried actually installing it (my daddy's a Perl man, and he's taught his kids accordingly

), but it is available for install. So far as I can tell it's QT 4.5.3.

Some apt-cache show results (for libqtcore4 and python2.5-qt4-core) follow:

Description: Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.
 This package contains the python extensions and modules.

/home/user/MyDocs is a standard on the N800/N810 as well, but /opt isn't. You install everything on rootfs and just sort of pray you don't run out of space.

That said, there *is* an /opt directory, so if you're perverse you could go that route anyways; it just doesn't do anything useful on Maemo 4.

(Please note that I don't know with 100% confidence (it's more like 90%) how optifying works; it looks very much to me like an official, standardized way of creative use of symlinks. If that's the case, then there's no problem. If there's something more involved, I suppose we might have minor issues to worry about.)

I ought to be able to do turn-it-on-and-see-if-it-doesn't-explode style testing if needed, although I'm not exactly a heavy DropBox user (Daddy hasn't quite fully converted me yet

), and so would need occasional Clueless Noob usage advice w/r/t functionality. (The three N800s are presently in active use, but I've also got an N810 that is more or less just lying around for the time being, so it's available for abuse.) If there's any preliminary experimenting you'd like me to give a try, let me know and I'll start poking around.

Hope this helps!
