hackage-repo-tool README seems incorrect

[bglgwyng]

README of hackage-repo-tool said

Create a directory ~/my-secure-repo containing a single subdirectory ~/my-secure-repo/package. Put whatever packages you want to make available from your repo in this subdirectory. At this point your repository might look like

I think that ~/my-secure-repo/index rather than ~/my-secure-repo/package is correct. When I created ~/my-secure-repo/package, the following error occured

my-secure-repo/index: getDirectoryContents:openDirStream: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Also, I put 01-index.tar file obtained by

curl -o 01-index.tar.gz https://hackage.haskell.org/01-index.tar.gz
gunzip 01-index.tar.gz

into ~/my-secure-repo, as it said ~/my-secure-repo/01-index.tar: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

However, when I ran hackage-repo-tool bootstrap --repo my-secure-repo --keys my-private-keys, the same error message showed up and 01-index.tar disappeared.

Did I do something wrong?

Did I do something wrong?

Apparently, because the instructions worked for me:

mkdir -p repo/package
cp cabal-clean-0.2.20230609.tar.gz repo/package/
hackage-repo-tool --create-keys --keys keys  
hackage-repo-tool bootstrap --repo repo --keys keys   

This all executes without error and I get this tree
