Looking at the history for the Wiki page, I think you've figured out
your answer.

I'm not sure about a network share (do you mean something like a NAS
device? or just from another machine?), but I did get archive sharing
to work by publishing the software directory with lighttpd. I also put
together a shell script, based on the one Josh pointed me to, that
signs every archive.

Unless someone gets to it first, I'll put up a HowTo on this tonight
or tomorrow. It's fairly simple.
