Hi,
Two weeks ago I asked the same question. :-)
You have to let dpkg-scanpackages create a "Packages" file. This file has to
be gzipped and will be downloaded by
apt-get to check wich packages are available. There is also a Release File,
I forgot the first time, but it was runnning even without it. :-)
If you have a woody-system running you can install apt-dev, wich contains
the program "apt-ftparchive", which is much more complex than
dpkg-scanpackages but is also more advanced.
I copied the directory structure from my nearest official debian-mirror (I
thought it was the fastest way) :-)
The Packages are to be stored at an anonymous ftp-server. In the same
directory
where the packages are stored, the Packages-file has to be.
Ciao,
Bernie
