@uncle mark,

You can temporarily add to your Mepis 8.0's sources.list the following

Warren's Mepis 8.5 repo:
deb ftp://ftp.mepis.com/mepis/ mepis-8.5 main

and the 8.5 CR main repo:
deb http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/ mepis85cr main non-free

[...]

One warning, make sure you don't do a full upgrade while you have these repos enabled (especially Warren's 8.5 repo)


Holler if you ever make it down this way. I'll buy the first brew/cuppa.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot. Makes me think my supposition about the versions being pretty darn close wasn't that far off.

That will allow you to install Brooko's firefox3 package (version 3.6.6) from the Mepis 8.5 CR. The firefox3 Brooko built for the 8.5 CR depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>=2.18.0), I don't know if it can be backported to use the 2.12 version that Mepis 8.0 uses or not.


Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Worked for me, too.

Reminder to only upgrade firefox (and the libgtk dependency that went with it)... and as soon as that is done, uncheck those two 8.5 repos and reload synaptic.

Post Re: Mepis 8 Community Repo-The Firefox Thread (Community Ver
Bump: I'm going to start a new Firefox3 thread for 8.0, I have a native Mepis 8.0 build of FF3 3.6.15-32-bit, but still have to set up the 64-bit virtual 8.0 machine.
