One _must_ read the docs to get through the concepts, especially for
creating apt release files (but you can simply copy one and modify
it). Once this is done here is a simplified example script
component for recreating the apt/yum repo metadata.

	# apt
        genbasedir --bloat --flat --bz2only \
	  /var/www/html/apt/redhat/rawhide/en/i386 at-stable at-good at-testing at-bleeding
	# yum
	for section in at-stable at-good at-testing at-bleeding; do
          mkdir -p /var/www/html/apt/redhat/rawhide/en/i386/$section/{RPMS,headers}
          cd /var/www/html/apt/redhat/rawhide/en/i386/$section/RPMS
          ls -s ../../RPMS.$section/*.rpm .
          yum-arch -q -l /var/www/html/apt/redhat/rawhide/en/i386/$section
	done

You asked for it ;)
