-                    These steps assume the build machine and the server are
-                    same machine:

-                            To ensure the directory contains the packages you
-                            want to serve, you need to create a symlink from
-                            the package feed area to the directory that hosts
-                            the packages you want to provide:

-                            You can start the server by running the following
-                            commands from the recently created directory:
-                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     $ cd /var/www/my_repo
-     $ python –m SimpleHTTPServer
