[kepler-dev] Custom actor deployment

[Chad Berkley]

I think you mean kepler version alpha 9.  It'll probably be about 20 
years until we get to version 9 :)  You should just be able to put your 
built kar files into the kepler/kar/actors directory then restart kepler 
and the actors should show up.  If they don't show up for some reason, 
try removing your ~/.kepler directory and restarting kepler.
