The repository is at ftp://ftp.modsoftsys.net/new
reprepro is a Debian package for maintaining package repositories.
Pretty good IMHO.
Im my cowbuilder chroot, I've added
deb ftp://ftp.modsoftsys.net/new sid main
to /etc/apt/sources.list, then cowbuilder --update.
reprepro is easy to set up -- give the docs a try. I can't remember
the details now :) the command to add new package to the repository
is
reprepro -b /path/to/repo include sid /path/to/package.changes
I use a shell function to automate this when I am in the package
directory so I don't have to type the package name, exact version etc.
each time.
Finally, the repository above contains packages I needed when building
something, not all of the ftp-masters' NEW queue or even not all of
pkg-perl new packages :)
