Re: Question: MX package requests vs. other distros

I started building packages back in the Mepis 7 days to safely install programs I wanted myself. Then I started sharing them on the MepisLovers Forum. Then, since some of them were fairly popular, I started an unofficial repository to more easily share them. Others started building packages & su...

Re: REQUEST: QuiteRSS

For now, use the Test repository to update quiterss. When we have enough reports that the new version is working properly the package will be moved into the main repository. Since the package was just built we have no feedback yet. MX Tools -> Package Installer -> Full App Catalog -> MX Test Repo

Re: Converting tar.gz to deb files

That capability of alien is designed to convert Slackware .tgz files to deb or rpm files. Slackware tgzs are precompiled binary packages in a standard directory format. Most tar.gz files are not this sort, but rather are source code that needs to be compiled. Alien is useless for those. Even in the ...

Re: Package request

MX-17 has libprotobuf10 (from Debian Stretch). If there is a particular Jessie compatible package that strictly requires the 9v5 version it would be better for us to recompile that package (if possible) to use the newer version. We could use a little more information about why you want that particul...

I use kid3-qt. You can work on individual files or select any group (in the same directory) to add common tags. Has drag & drop to add artwork.

Re: [Solved] megasync update

OK, this appears to be an error in the package that contains all the scripts for the MX Package Installer (mx-packageinstaller-pkglist).

Just an extra . (or perhaps ./ although a double // doesn't cause a problem without the .)
