A Joomla module to list packages of a Debian or Ubuntu repository.
It parses the packages.gz file(s) and displays the list of packages, including the description, the size, the version, ...
It's also possible to create an hyperlink to the file of the package to allows download.

The distribution directory.
mod_debianpackageslist use the packages.gz generated by your repository manager (reprepro, dpkg-scanpackages, ...) to show packages informations. So, the dists tree must be accessible under the joomla root directory.
Here is the way I do it.
Under your joomla root folder, create a directory, ubuntu for example. Verify that you don't have a menu with the same name, otherwise it will create troubles.
mkdir ubuntu
Now create links to your dists and pool directories :
cd ubuntu
ln -s /home/reprepro/dists dists
ln -s /home/reprepro/pool pool
mod_debianpackageslist use the pool directory ony when you create a link on the file name.By adding it, you can use the directory created as an apt source.
deb http://youserver/ubuntu distrib components
