Re: Question about https://deb.devuan.org/

Don't use https with deb.devuan.org. It's a round-robin and not all mirrors support https. If you go to http://deb.devuan.org you'll see the same page as https://pkgmaster.devuan.org.

If you feel a need to use https in your sources.list, you'll need to select a specific mirror that supports it.

I got this explanation from someone else:

Normally sources.list uses http:// protocol not https:// protocol and the mirrors *if* they were to use https would require distributing the certificates to all of the mirrors.  Not practical.  And the signed Releases file was designed before https and protects the integrity of the transfers without needing https.
