Now, debmirror works:
debmirror -h ftp.es.mirror.devuan.org \
--dist=jessie \
--root=/merged \
--di-arch=i386,amd64,armhf \
--section=main/debian-installer \
--nosource \
--progress \
--ignore-release-gpg \
--method http \
--diff=none \
/home/aitor/devuan-repo
The issue was related with the rejection of rsync :)
Cheers,
Aitor.
