In this repository there are also a testing, bleeding and trunk components.


The trunk repository isn’t updated any longer; use the mythbuntu auto-build.


Packages in testing are may not be as stable as what you will find in the release repository and they usually contain work in progress.


Packages in bleeding repository. Contains packages that will replace important system files. They are usually system drivers (like ALSA, LIRC etc).


There are also extra repositories useful to debug or report bugs to be use in combination with release or trunk: those are release-dbgsym and trunk-dbgsym. Read here for more info.


To activate testing or bleeding, add “testing” or “bleeding” to the list of components, like this:



You must always have “release” in the list of components. You can’t use testing on its own


The packages do not rely on having external repositories enabled anymore ; however, I strongly suggest that you enable the medibuntu repository

I keep up to data a Ubuntu repository with some packages I have been creating.

Most packages are media playing related. They include

nVidia drivers, MythTV packages, mplayer with VDPAU support, x264 libraries etc.

Those packages are compatible with other repositories like Mythbuntu.


So you can usually simply upgrade your existing system with my packages without adverse consequences.
