After creating configuration you need create tables in your database, for this execute these commands:

$ cd gpackages
$ ./manage.py syncdb
$ ./manage.py migrate

Then maybe you want collect first packages data, for this you need execute that command:

$ ./manage.py scanpackages -a

This will collect info about all packages in all overlays. If you want check what overlays available, then type this command:

$ ./manage.py listrepos
