I think it's better to use the deb files that Aitor is creating for us.
Just download the deb files here:

http://packages.gnuinos.org/pool/main/

(I just wrote the packages had disappeared but I was in the libpstat
directory)

Yes, that's our goal, but we're just not yet at that stage. Finally the
packages will have their place in the "normal" Devuan tree. For the
moment you might follow the howt you will find here:

https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev/blob/master/how-to-test.md

That's just the testing of vdev. For this to work you must install the
library deb files like libpstat, no need to compile these from source.
