Also is there a how-to some place that describes how to make the packages once the applications are compiled so I can use the dselect program to load apps locally?
You don't have to make the packages. They are already made when you compile ("fink install"). You only need to do the following:

1. On the server: Put a symlink to your /sw/fink directory into your central webserver directory:

sudo ln -s /sw/fink /Library/WebServer/Documents/fink

Then start the apache web server (Web sharing system preferences)

2. On the clients: Put the address of your package server into the file /sw/etc/apt/sources.list on each client machine: Add lines

deb http://SERVER/fink/ local main bootstrap
deb http://SERVER/fink/ stable main crypto
deb http://SERVER/fink/ unstable main crypto

to this file, where SERVER is replaced by the address of your server.

3. Run "fink scanpackages" after every compilation.

You can then use apt-get and dselect.
