That directory doesn't have a Devuan or Ascii sub-directory which seems
to be the cause of the error.
Should this work out of the box?


There is no devuan.d directory there, you can create it by copying 
/usr/share/xen-tools/debian.d to devuan.d and then edit 20-setup-apt and 
change the default sources.list


I remember changing /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and adding a "mirror" 
and "mirror_ascii" tags, and commenting out the guessed "mirror" line, 
which did not work then (it might work now).

[DNG] is a point release a good idea?

[Héctor González via Dng]

Hi, I recently downloaded the install isos for ascii and noticed they 
are a bit over 6 months old.


I wonder if it would be a good idea to update them with say 2.0.1 ascii 
(or whatever version makes sense), so they have updated apt-* packages 
and the security issues around upgrading those are not part of the first 
time installation concerns.


does this make sense?

A happy devuan sysadmin.
