To make your apt aware of this package repository add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://angg.twu.net/debian potato local deb-src http://angg.twu.net/debian potato local and issue the command "apt-get update". A quick description of the packages here can be found in the "Packages" file in the binary-i386 directory, and the scripts that I used to make them from the pristine sources can be found at: http://angg.twu.net/e/mktclapp.e.html#mktclapp.debs http://angg.twu.net/e/lua.e.html#lua-4.0_debs http://angg.twu.net/e/lua.e.html#lua-3.2_yada
