3. Add it to apache server.

cat /etc/apach2/site-avaiable/001-repo.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that  
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating            
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName         
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to      
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this    
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.     
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.         
    #ServerName www.example.com                                                 
        ServerName test.com
        ServerAlias www.test.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/repo

    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,      
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.                                                
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular              
    # modules, e.g.                                                             
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn                                                     

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are 

    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to                  
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the      
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only           
    # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".                     
    #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf                                  
</VirtualHost>

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet

4. setup web Document root

ln -s ~/repo /var/www/repo/

5. enable the website

ln -s /etc/apache2/site-available/0001-repo.conf /etc/apache2/site-enable/

6. service apache2 restart

on the client:

smart channel --add mysource type=rpm-md baseurl=http://www.test.com/repo/

then smart update

smart install your_pkg
