The configuration of Nginx requires granted permissions. At the same,
granted permissions in the cloud requires a dedicated server, more
expensive than a shared one. Not all the people can afford it.
Apache, instead, can be configured using a local .htaccess file.

I'm not a lawyer! ;-)

Personally, i prefer nginx over apache, but i use a shared hosting for
gnuinos; so, i'm using apache.
On the other hand, the configuration suggested by KatolaZ:

http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt

that is:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /devuan/merged/pool/DEVUAN/(.*) /devuan/pool/$1
RewriteRule /devuan/merged/pool/DEBIAN-SECURITY/(.*) /debian-security/pool/$1
RewriteRule /devuan/merged/pool/DEBIAN/(.*) /debian/pool/$1

didn't work for me. I just shared the one which worked in my server, using Redirect 302.

Cheers,

Aitor.
