Summary: We develop the notion of independent resolutions for crossed products attached to totally disconnected dynamical systems. If such a crossed product admits an independent resolution of finite length, then its K-theory can be computed (at least in principle) by analysing the corresponding six-term exact sequences. Building on our previous paper on algebraic independent resolutions, we give a criterion for the existence of finite length independent resolutions. Moreover, we illustrate our ideas in various concrete examples.
