Welcome to the website of genuen, a ready-to-use operating system that aims to be entirely free as in freedom. This means that we reject all the nonfree stuff, whether software, manuals or documentation. Free software is about having control over the technology we use, empowering people against proprietary software and digital restrictions. When it comes to Free software, the term free relates to freedom as in free speech, and not to cost.

The mechanism for merging devuan and genuen mirrors is amprolla, an apt repository merger originally intended for use with the Devuan infrastructure, where merged packages get translated by some magic to a local mirror or redirected to a external one, as the case may be.

As in the devuan scenario, genuen package repositories are exclusive as well, that is to say they shouldn't be mixed with other apt-based repositories, including Devuan, Debian, Ubuntu and the like.

Genuen is a fully amprolla setup, and it follows that package repositories shouldn't be mixed with other apt-based repositories.

It is also important to point out that genuen uses the same codenames than devuan and it's highly recommended to use them in the /etc/apt/sources.list entries other than suite (oldstable, stable, testing...).

For instance, to point the repositories to the forthcoming stable release based on Devuan 6.0 Excalibur, the sources.list file should look as follows:

deb http://packages.genuen.org/merged excalibur main
deb-src http://packages.genuen.org/merged excalibur main

deb http://packages.genuen.org/merged excalibur-updates main
deb-src http://packages.genuen.org/merged excalibur-updates main

deb http://packages.genuen.org/merged excalibur-security main
deb-src http://packages.genuen.org/merged excalibur-security main

To end with, we would like to thank the whole Devuan community that has made this project possible... Thank you, and happy hacking!
