Warning: this is an old page, it is mainly for Debian based Mepis (3.4 version or older)
This page is for advanced users to have a list of repositories they can add and have alternative packages. many are listed for multiple versions, pick the version relevant to you. Clicking on the title will bring you to a complete page on that along with a (hopefully) semi complete list of packages and any fixes available for that repo.
Debian snapshot
In case you didn't upgrade yet and want to install a package version that's compatible with your Mepis installation you can use this archive source:
#Debian snapshot deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/yyyy/mm/day/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
You need to change the date to when Mepis was released. This allows you to apt-get the package versions that are synchronized with the packages that come with Mepis. For example for the SimplyMepis 3.4-3 use:
#Debian snapshot SM3.4-3 deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2006/01/20/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
(SimplyMepis 3.4-3 was released on 02/09/06, however the packages might be a little bit older, I used 2006/01/20 in this example, this is only a guess, if you have dependency problems try a different date)
