No, we did some work on testing image definitions and project setup, by this
the testing project contains the release state plus few handpicked updates/fixes.
Also the testing project is building on top of the same frozen Mer version
we took for the release, so it is a qualified staging project for updates in
the field.

 
Sadly to project setup with Mer, Nemo and hardware adaptions is a bit
confusing. But the changes releated to Archos 3G UMTS support taking only
place inside the hardware adaption projects and are available for the
devel and testing images (also pvr is affected). The build and publishing
of Archos hardware adaption rpms for the release image is disabled at the
moment till we agree to ship it.

At the moment no one is working on Archos G9 hardware adaption with pvr.
But I added the 3G support in the same way like for omapfb. The screensaver
and powerdevil support is still disabled by 'plasma-mobile-config-archos-gen9-pvr'
package.
 
Cheers,
