What happened to deb.mepis.org?


Posts: 10

For about the past week, from 2 different ISPs, when I try to do an apt-get update, I error out with the message:
Could not resolve 'deb.mepis.org'
Has it been renamed?

Same problem for me, please

hi this is my mepis section

hi this is my mepis section and apt is working with no errors

# MEPIS apt pool - specific packages available on-line
deb http://apt.mepis.org/3.3 unstable main

Thanks! That seems to have worked!

But I would have liked a note SOMEWHERE in the documentation or news to say that deb.mepis.org was being deprecated!

Fine, but...

can I really update to the new server without to enter the dependencies hell? The URL looks like this directory is specific to the new MEPIS version. I don't know what MEPIS version I've installed, but my installation is from circa two years ago and I updated already my distribution through the common debian (unstable/testing) servers.

Bye,
