What is a repository?
A ubuntu repository is a directory. It can be stored on the lokal disk, or on a webserver or on a ftp server. To use it, you add its path into your /etc/apt/sources.list and setup a gpg key. Then you can simply install lazarus with your favourite package gui (e.g. synaptic) and fpc, fpc-src and lazarus will be downloaded, installed and updated automatically.
Who needs it?
Administrators who wants to install FPC+Lazarus on a pool of computers. Like in school. Or newbies who just want to quickly test it.
The directory structure
Let's assume you want create a repository available via the apache webserver. Then you need to setup a directory like /var/www/lazarus that is public readable and only writable by root.
Create the following sub directory:
/var/www/lazarus/dists/lazarus-testing/universe/binary-i386
