Been there done that. Add the key this message is signed with to your
APT keyring and add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb
http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/linux/powerbook/aiglx-zero-copy-tfp
./
# optionally
deb-src
http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/linux/powerbook/aiglx-zero-copy-tfp
./
512Kbps bandwidth max, however, so if it gets slow someone might have to
mirror them.
Minor caveat: If you want things WRT to upgrades to work normally, pin
that repository somehow. I haven't figured out an easy and sane way to
keep packages I've made personal changes to higher up on APT's list than
the official repos, and I followed policy with regards to non-maintainer
uploads (6.5.2-3 to 6.5.2-3.1) and now aptitude/update-notifier wants to
"upgrade" mesa to 6.5.2-4 in unstable. The only thing I have figured is
to bump the epoch (2:6.5.2-3) which is a bit messy and won't always
yield desired results, especially if I end up distributing the packages.
At any rate, enjoy.
