MX and MEPIS
Community Repository
Welcome
to the MX Repository and Mepis Community Repository at teharris.net.
MEPIS was a Gnu/Linux distribution based on Debian stable with KDE. This made it a very solid Operating System and Warren Woodford's skillful implementation made 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 stepped up. Back then the Community Packaging Team, now the MX-Linux Packaging Team backported many newer packages that Mepis users wanted. This Community Repository was the result of those efforts. But MEPIS is no longer being developed - The MEPIS 12 beta2 iso was the last release.
MX was born from the MEPIS and AntiX communities once it was clear no more MEPIS releases were coming. It is also based on debian stable. Originally it only used XFCE instead of KDE, but now offers KDE and Fluxbox versions as well. It is a middle weight distribution that runs well on older computers and simply flies on newer ones. It has many custom utilities including tools for easy remastering and tools that make it easy to run MX from a flash drive with persistent home and/or root file systems for those who don't want to install to a hard drive.
Our Packaging Team now supports MX as the Community Packaging Team did for MEPIS for many years, with backports of newer packages and debian builds of wanted packages that are not yet in debian, as well as some custom MX utilities.
This server hosts the MX Repositories and the MEPIS Community Repositories archives.
The currently supported releases are MX-23 (bookworm based), MX-21 (bullseye based), & MX-19 (buster based).
If you are using MX Linux you will, of course, already have the appropriate repositories installed. But since MX-Linux is built on Debian stable some users of Debian & other Debian based distributions have been known to utilize our packages. We list the repository locations here for the convenience of those who wish to (at their own risk) do so.
For MX-23:
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ bookworm main non-free (for MX-23 Main repo)
For MX-21:
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ bullseye main non-free (for MX-21 Main repo)
For MX-19:
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ buster main non-free (for MX-19 Main repo)
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://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/ bookworm test (for the MX-23 Testing repo)
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/ bullseye test (for the MX-21 Testing repo)
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/ buster test (for the MX-19 Testing repo)
The repositories for MX-Linux are signed. If you are running MX Linux the keys are already installed, and can always be re-installed with the included checkaptgpg program. If you are running another distribution, you can download the MX-23 public key, MX-21 public key, or the MX-19 public key, and add them using
sudo "apt-key add mx23repo.asc" , sudo "apt-key add mx21repo.asc" , or sudo "apt-key add mx19repo.asc" in a Console.
