set up a local directory with a debian-archive structure, put your files in it and use dpkg-scanpackages to build your own package file, then point apt to your local archive and you're in business. You can also use a flat archive directory, and U=I think you'll even get away using your own homebrew directory structure, but I'm not sure. -- groetjes, carel
