THIS REPOSITORY IS NO LONGER UP-TO-DATE. PLEASE USE VINTERSTUM'S INSTEAD!
Quoting sandman from below:

I created an Installer.app repository for ScummVM, and it's working!

Updated: If you're using the repository I just had posted that ended with "plist", please switch to this one. I got the new format I was trying for to work, and the old repository's been removed.

Here it is, for your convenience. It'd probably be smarter for you to host this, Vinterstum, since you'll be the one updating the packages and versions. The format I have this in is multiple files, so if you're interested just shoot me a PM with your E-mail address and I'd be happy to send them along. The default repository configuration that can be downloaded from iphone.nullriver.com is bugged in quite a few ways, as I found out the hard way tonight.

The repository: http://www.seriouslyslick.com/iphone/repository

To add this to Installer.app (version 3 or greater):
Run Installer on your iDevice, press "Sources" along the bottom, press the "Edit" button at the top-right corner, press the "Add" button in the top-left corner, type the URL for the repository (beware the keyboard autocorrection! It tries to capitalize the 'p' in 'iphone'), and press "OK".

Installer will update your sources, and ScummVM will become available in the "Games" section. The version number is the date of the release, in YYYYMMDD format.

Note: If you already have ScummVM installed and you want to use the repository so that updating is easier in the future, you must delete your current copy of ScummVM first.

I updated my repository -- anyone who installed via http://www.seriouslyslick.com/iphone/repository in AppTapp should now have an available update in the list.

@Vinterstum: You can do it without the PHP, too -- I use PHP for my repository, but all it takes is one xml file for the most basic setup. If you'd like a capture for the one I use, navigate to http://www.seriouslyslick.com/iphone/re ... y/?debug=1 and view source. The only tricky part without PHP is getting the date right -- but I'm sure PHP4 could handle that if you wanted to script it.

And as always, fantastic work!!

Oh quick Q. should we uninstall previous versions of scumm from Installer before installing new releases or can we just install it via the update tab on installer?
cheers!

No need to uninstall, just use the update like normal

I scripted it so that, when you update, it deletes the old ScummVM and copies the new one in automatically. Installer.app is pretty slick that way

If Vinterstum sets up his own repository that he can update, though, you'll need to uninstall ScummVM, then remove my repository, then add Vinterstum's, then reinstall ScummVM. Otherwise you'll get two colliding packages and it just won't be pretty. For now, though, I'm doing a fairly decent job of watching activity here while I'm at work, so my repository should stay updated!

Fantastic work, Vinterstum! Nice job with the repository too -- I've been out most of the day, so your timing couldn't have been better

I haven't had much testing time yet, but just going into COMI produces many more sounds than I had before

. It keeps getting better and better!
