i'am afraid i didn't understand what you just said !!
do you mean I replace the "dists" folder with "extras-devel" so my 
repository becomes like this: 
/var/www/repo/extras-devel/free/binary-armel/ ??
if you mean that, it didn't work , and the server's access.log file 
reports failure to get Packages.gz file (which used to be successful before)
