Create a package repository over HTTP

There is an interesting howto.

A good candidate for hosting this files is blas, accesing with ezweb.morfeo-project.org.

Done. You should add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list

 
  deb http://ezweb.morfeo-project.org/packages/debian/ latest main
 

For uploading new packages to repository, you should

• Install them in pool

   
     $ cp /my/new/packages/ezweb* /var/www/wp_ezweb/packages/debian/pool/ezweb/
   
  

• Regenerate the package indices

     $ cd /var/www/wp_ezweb/packages/debian
     $ dpkg-scanpackages pool /dev/null > dists/latest/main/Packages
  

• Create index files for each architecture

     $ cd dists/latest/main
     $ rm -rf binary*
     $ mkdir binary-i386
     $ mv Packages binary-i386/
     $ cat binary-i386/Packages | gzip -9c
     $ bzip2 binary-i386/Packages
     $ cp -r binary-i386 binary-amd64
     $ cp -r binary-i386 binary-powerpc
     $ cp -r binary-i386 binary-sparc
  

With this lines, an apt-get update in clients will update its repository and an apt-get install ezweb-platform will update the package.
