I'm not entirely sure what you've got to do to go from just a package
tree to an installable tree right now, since all that has changed so
much recently.  One thing that should pretty much always work is copying
those files to another directory and using rsync to build a tree from
one of the mirrors.  That'll save you from having to redownload packages
that haven't changed since you last downloaded them.
