It would be much more useful if you included the information that would
allow using this repository with apt.

As the sources.list line format is undocumented it is rather hard to
find out how to specify a line which causes apt to access a particular
repository (and the sources.list line also depends on the contents of
the Packages file).

Also the key for checking the packages file is missing, even in the blog
entry which details the sources.list line.

Thanks
