Welcome
to the Mepis Community Repository at teharris.net.
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.
Most packages in the Community repository are available on this server, but there are some packages which while legal to use in most of the world may have legal issues where you live due to potential patent issues. Those are kept on a separate server at http://restricted.mepis-deb.org
The preferred method of installing packages is by adding these repositories
For MEPIS 11.0:
deb
http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/ mepis11cr main non-free
(for Mepis 11.0 Main repo)

http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/ mepis11cr restricted restricted-non-free
(for Mepis 11.0 Restricted repo)

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and using the normal tools
(Synaptic, apt-get or aptitude).
The packages in the Testing repositories haven't been through as much testing as the packages in the main repository. Although the packagers believe them to be safe occasionally issues can arise. If you want to install a package in Testing add this repository
deb http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis11cr test
(for the Mepis 11.0 Main Testing repo)
deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis11cr test-restricted
(for the Mepis 11.0 Restricted Testing repo)
deb http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis85cr test
(for the Mepis 8.5 Main Testing repo)
deb http://restricted.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis85cr test-restricted
