Nexus 7 images

[Ruediger Gad]

Just to clarify:
when I speak about "devel", I mean the devel projects or "branch" at 
build.merproject.org, e.g.: 
https://build.merproject.org/project/show?project=kde%3Adevel%3Aux etc.
When I speak about "testing", I mean the corresponding testing versions, 
e.g., 
https://build.merproject.org/project/show?project=kde%3Atesting%3Aux etc.

Afaik, the devel version at build.merproject.org runs a (more or less?) 
continous integration against the master of the accompanying git 
repositories. So it should, more or less, correspond to git master.

With respect to building images:
I use the following command line from mer sdk to build the nexus7 image:
PATH=$PATH:/sbin sudo mic create fs 
plasma-active-armv7hl-google-nexus7-devel-mer-latest-2013-06-04.ks 
--pack-to=plasma-active-armv7hl-google-nexus7-devel-mer-latest-2013-06-04.tar.gz 
--pkgmgr=zypp --arch=armv7hl

Unfortunately, I am short of time right now.
The mer wiki should provide more help.
