[SOLVED] Access to Beowulf packages

I am trying to download packages from Beowulf which is archived now. The Devuan Package View presents a download path like http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIA … _amd64.deb but that gives an error "Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server."

How can I access the archive for downloading packages? I was searching for a path, but couldn't find it.

Re: [SOLVED] Access to Beowulf packages

most likely you need to change "deb.devuan.org" to "archive.devuan.org" or similar,
thats the way debian handled it lately, and i needed to do so also during installer if used an older release, but for some reason devuan-installer doesnt like it so muchh and often the install would fail from netinstall; whereas with debian the "archive" is bit more accessible.

Thanks, that made it work.
