Source:Debian snapshot
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
!!! Warning! The info contained in this article pertains to older versions of MEPIS !!!
In case you didn't upgrade yet and want to install a package whose version is compatible with your Mepis installation you can use this archive of Debian packages: Debian snapshot. You can get a specifical version of a package by going directly to the site or by using apt-get. To use apt-get add the followings to /etc/apt/source.list file:
#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)
As usually when you change the /etc/apt/sources.list file you need to do an apt-get update or a Reload in Synaptic.
