Welcome to the Mepis Community Repository.

Mepis is a Gnu/Linux distribution based on Debian stable.  This makes it a very solid Operating System and Warren Woodford's skillful implementation makes it easy to install and use.

However, working from a stable base sometimes means having older versions of some programs and not having some newer programs at all.  That's where the Mepis Community has stepped up.  The Community Packaging Team has backported many newer packages that Mepis users want.  This Community Repository is the result of those efforts.

The preferred method of installing packages is by adding this repository

deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/ mepis85cr restricted restricted-non-free  (for Mepis 8.5) or
deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/ mepis8cr restricted restricted-non-free  (for Mepis 8.0) or
deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis85cr test-restricted  (for Mepis 8.5 test repo) or
deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis8cr test-restricted  (for Mepis 8.0 test repo) or
deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo mepis7cr restricted restricted-non-free  (for Mepis 7.0)

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and using the normal tools (Synaptic, apt-get or aptitude).

We also host a mirror of the Mepis main repo:
