problems setting up local repository

i tried to make a local repository of the same structure as online repos (with .db file and the like) and get errors

the files i made

/home/null/
null.db.tar.gz
null_image-1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

in null.db.tar.gz :
/null_image-1-1/depends (empty file)
/null_image-1-1/desc

%FILENAME%
null_image-1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

%NAME%
null_image

%VERSION%
1-1

%DESC%
test package

%ARCH%
i686

in null_image-1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz :
/usr/untitled.png (just image file)

i added to /etc/pacman.conf

[null]
Server = file:///home/null

now when i pacman -Sy i get this

[root@kite home]# pacman -Sy null_image

null_image-1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

did i skip too much in the desc file ? what in it is required and what is not ?

how do i build a repo this way with the automated tools (pkgbuild etc) ?
