UPDATE: After reading about a recent job posting, I wanted to see exactly how difficult it would be to set up my own little repository. So I set one up using this howto and FatalSaint's repository as a template; it wasn't very difficult.

Anyway, I was also motivated to do this because I wanted to make this stuff easier to install. And hey, it is easier now, you can do it from the Application Manager!

Add this to Application Manager -> Tools -> Application Catalogue -> New button

Code:
Catalogue name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.maemobox.org/repository
Distribution: maemo
Components: main
Now, when you go to Browse installable applications -> Other, you'll be able to install setback 0.1.0 and all the other stuff will be installed automagically...

Feel free, once this is installed, to remove my little repository. This is purely an experiment with the side effect (that some might consider cool, others not so much) that this little hack is easy to install.

... waiting for the maemo repository police to come and bang on my door ...
