If you need to specify several mirrors -this seems to be the case 
considering the addition of beowulf-proposed-updates-, you might give 
a try to mmdebstrap:


https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/eoan/man1/mmdebstrap.1.html

As your request, and due to the recent changes in some critical 
packages like eudev, init, init-system-helpers... i decided to build 
some images
for testing purposes using the live-sdk, which uses debootstrap at the 
same:


https://www.gnuinos.org/Devuan%20Drafts/core/ 



You can also build your own by the following way. Download the tarball 
from this link:


https://www.gnuinos.org/live-sdk 

Install the dependencies:

# apt-get install zsh cgpt xz-utils gzip schroot debootstrap curl 
rsync squashfs-tools sudo debmirror \
reprepro wget xorriso isolinux patch dialog sed cpio syslinux 
grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-ia32-bin


Go into the parent directory and build a core image of Devuan 3.1 
(debootstrap plus a few packages) as follows:


$ sudo su

# zsh -f

# source sdk

# build_iso_dist

The download process may fail fetching one or another package time to 
time. If the case arises, remove the
"tmp" and the "log" folders, exit and start all the steps again from 
the very begining. At the end, you'll find the

resulting iso image in a folder named "dist".

Just in case you interrupt the build process, run the following command:

# devprocsys umount $strapdir

This will unmount some partitions like /proc, /sys... To understand 
this, have a look at the following screenshot:


https://www.gnuinos.org/screenshots/Screenshot_2020-12-05_19-28-07.png 



I would like to make clear that this is not the *official* live-sdk 
used by devuan, but a fork used for the builds of gnuinos. And it 
includes as a bonus
simple-netaid (just run simple-netaid-cdk as root). I'm still not 
clear at this point, but its daemon might cause some delay during the 
shutdown,
even though"service stop/restart snetaid"are responding inmediatelly 
for me, which makes me hesitate. Anyway, you can remove it if so you 
wish.


Cheers,

Aitor.

My mistake. Sorry. 

I tried to use cdebootstrap but got the "Couldn't validate Release!" 
error because cdebootstrap lacks the option --no-check-ppg. I has the 
impression this was supopsed to be fixed in cdebootsrtrap. I was 
about to use wget because that is what debootstrap uses. Would the 
result of using wget be the same as deboostrap?

[DNG] devuan and debootstrap

[Haines Brown]

I wanted to do a cross install of Beowulf 3.1 on a spare disk to test 
it. Howver, deboostrap does not seem to be in the devuan 
repository. Any reason for this? Any reason I should not steal it from 
the Debian repository and install it locally?

I was going to install default Beowulf (Beowult 3.0 ?) but is there 
any way I can use deboostrap to access Beowulf 3.1 directly to install 
it?
