If you want to make speedy, auto-updating releases for a particular Linux
flavour
the best way is to make your own package repository. Users can then add this
to their list of package sources and they will be prompted to update Merkaartor
in the same way as other packages.
The only trouble is you'd probably end up making one repository for each distro.
openSUSE BuildService already offers this. It builds for all larger
distributions automatically. I personally only care for the
RPM-distributions. If someone is willing to take care of the deb-based
ones, then help is welcome.
Currently the build service supports these:
openSUSE: Factory, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3
SUSE: SLE-11 SP 1, SLE-11, SLE-10, SLES-9
Debian: 5.0, Etch
Fedora: 13, 12
RedHat: RHEL-5, RHEL-4
CentOS: CentOS-5
Mandriva: 2010.1, 2010, 2009.1
Ubuntu: 10.04, 9.10, 9.04, 8.04, 6.06
Note, that merkaartor usually can't be build for older distributions, as
it always uses fancy new Qt features which aren't available for older
systems (and upgrading QT requires a lot of changes).
