With all three URLs I am getting a 404 error now - maybe migrated elsewhere after the MS takeover?

the complete command line, i do not use that stupid config file

debmirror-devuan  \
 --ignore-missing-release  --ignore-release-gpg \
 --nocleanup --diff=none \
 --source --section=main,main/debian-installer,contrib,non-free  --arch=i386 --dist=jessie  --omit-suite-symlinks \
 --host=pkgmaster.devuan.org --root=devuan --method=http \
 --progress --verbose \
 mirrordirectorydebs

in this case i386, all section including non-free, only jessie, no diff or cleanup if someting goes wrong or faill, rest of options are same as debian

no w i have locally the two flavors, and i see how systemd are invadoing more and more lijnux system arrggggggg

I guess you didn't see the response to your bug report. I assume that was written by KatolaZ:

Your bug report is not that useful, since you must include the
relevant content of the debmirror.conf file that you are using.
In order to mirror only devuan-specific suites in ascii for amd64,
your debmirror.conf should have something like:
$host="pkgmaster.devuan.org";
$remoteroot="devuan";
$download_method="http";
@dists="ascii";
@sections="main,main/debian-installer,contrib,non-free";
@arches="amd64";
I have tried it now myself with:
$ debmirror -p --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/devuan-archive-keyring.gpg ./devuan-only
and it works.

So sounds like PEBKAC.

Devuan filters the Debian packages. If you use Debian packages directly, chances are that eventually something will slip in and break your system or you won't be able to upgrade properly.

hell yeah! many many thanks... i'll make a complete how to for that!

this work for those that not have internet connection

go to a cybercafe
attach the usb disk
download with debmirror
detach the usb disk
go to your home or work
use locally with "file://" or bypassing with webserver with "htttp://localhost"
or if you have a router, set a ip and use as normal repository.. just added to boot screen allow_unantenticated=true (or something)

Ah, thanks for clarifying. My concern was indeed that you were using that to set up a public mirror and that seemed like a rather odd first post. Enjoy your time here. Hope we're all good now that that's been straightened out.

Sorry, i did not want to be offensive. I never wanted to make a public mirror. That method just works fine for me for a local private mirror. This works while waiting for the official instructions with rsync and I just wanted others to enjoy it.

You are jumping the gun here. Package mirrors will need to be set up in a specific way. Please wait for the official instructions.

In the meantime this might be instructive:

If you want to create a devuan mirror with debmirror (for example for jessie) you must modify the debmirror perl script as here :
https://github.com/soohwa/devuan-debmirror

You can find the difference with the original :
https://github.com/soohwa/devuan-debmir … its/master

And mirror with :
https://github.com/soohwa/devuan-debmir … /README.md

debmirror /mirror/devuan/ \
	--host=packages.devuan.org \
	--arch=i386,amd64 \
	--dist=jessie,jessie-backports,jessie-proposed-updates,jessie-security,jessie-updates \
	--omit-suite-symlinks \
	--diff=none \
	--root=merged \
	--verbose \
	--i18n \
	--method=http \
	--keyring /mirror/541922FB.bin

541922FB.bin is the public key for devuan repositories.
