The clients will have no references in their sources.list to the Gambas
3.7 PPA, so that should be no problem.

I am currently trying to set it up. I have got the files
in /var/www/apt/gambas3

I'm not sure though on what to publish so it makes sense for apt-get.

The above ....apt/gambas3 folder has an ubuntu folder. In there you have
dists and pool.

dists contains a develop, lucid, precise, ... and trusty folder
All the above mentioned folders (develop, lucid,..) hold a main folder,
the release file and release.gpg

The pool folder holds a main folder with folder g and l, with more
subfolders eventually leading to the .deb packages.

What I was wondering is, what level of the folder structure to publish
in apache.
/var/www/apt/gambas3? or /var/www/apt/gambas3/ubuntu?
