apt-mirror config for a local Devuan repo

Today, KatolaZ posted instructions for setting up a local mirror here.  Copied below for reference:

Dear D1rs,

Since we are talking of creating a local or LAN Devuan mirror, I
thought that posting a working configuration for apt-mirror could be
found useful. Please find at the bottom an example of what you should
have in your /etc/apt/mirrors.list in order to get a full local Devuan
repo for amd64, i386, and sources. You can use deb.devuan.org instead
of pkgmaster.devuan.org, if you like, or any of the package mirrors
listed at:

  https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt

Notice that the program apt-mirror must be executed by the user
"apt-mirror", who should have rwx access to the base_path specified in
the mirrors.list file. For more information, man apt-mirror

Useful information on setting up a Devuan package mirror can be found
at:

  https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mir … hrough.txt

If you want to setup a *public* Devuan package mirror instead, please
follow the instructions reported in the walkthrough and get in touch
as specified therein.

Re: apt-mirror config for a local Devuan repo

It has been a few years gone by for me now, but I recall Aptly being a way to mirror/merge and publish multiple mirrors locally and over the net/LAN.
perhaps a short guide on this would be hepful those interested in using the distribution build kit. It also supports adding local packages to the repository. it seems that this may be a great boon for those that develop custom packages.

Aptly is in the repository already.
