To use the repository

  1. Edit your sources.list, adding:
    deb http://debs.acrasis.net/ stable/
    deb-src http://debs.acrasis.net/ stable/
  2. Acquire the repository's public key.  Either download the key from my server or from a public keyserver, e.g. pgp.surfnet.nl.  Then use apt-key to add it, e.g.
    $ wget --quiet --output-document=- \
      'http://pgp.surfnet.nl:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB983DB82FE0B71A1' \
      | sudo apt-key add - 
  3. Now you can
    # apt-get update
    and use the usual packaging tools to install or examine.  E.g. to list the available packages,
    $ aptitude search ~Oacrasis.net
