how to setup a local website for storing some debian packages?
 

sometimes we have some standalone packages to install, it's not in the
offical mirrors. I'm a web developer so I hope I can make a local
website to store these packages, then I add a line "deb
http://localhost/debian unstable main contrib non-free" into my
source.list file, then these packages can be installed seamlessly with
other offical packages.
I'm able to setup a website using apache, but I need the instructions
about how to place those standalone packages into my localwebsite and
make it work with official packages, could you give me a example to do
this thing? thanks

Usr the file:// protocol instead and you don't have to deal with apache at
all. My line from /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:
deb file:/var/apt-repository /

I use reprepro too - its pretty good for medium repositories, however
if your repo is small you may find other tools
Have you had a look at the Debian Repository Howto [1] ?
