!Creating a Release file
In dists/hoary you need to have a Release file, which refers to all the other Packages/Release files in the repository. The file also contains the SHA1 and MD5 sums for each file. You generate this (from dists/hoary) with =apt-ftparchive release .=
-Looking at the original Release file, you see there there are lots of other fields set. To set these, create a config file for apt-ftparchive, which includes each word with APT::FTPArchive::Release:: prepended. I generated mine with =head -9 Release | grep -v ^Date | sed 's/: /=
"/' | sed 's/^/APT::FTPArchive::Release::/' | sed 's/$/";/' > apt.conf= and you add it into the apt-ftparchive commandline with =-c apt.conf=

!Create a signature for the Release file
You need to create an Release.gpg file, with an ASCII armoured signature for the master Release file in dists/hoary. Use =gpg --output Release.gpg -ba Release= and sign with the signing key you created earlier.
