They do offer install instructions for an ubuntu repo, so there's no real need to package it specifically for mint. When it conforms to ubuntu packaging guidelines, it'll make it's way into the main repos (a process which can be sped up by asking them to get it into ubuntu's repos directly)

Re: Add Research Tool/ Mendeley to Software Portal
Hi,
Sorry to resurrect old thread, but did you manage to add the Ubuntu repository to Mint?
I am having trouble adding deb http://www.mendeley.com/repositories/xUbuntu_9.04 /
I don't know where to put the "repositories" and "xUbuntu_9.04" into the repository manager so it can find the packages.gz file. It keeps setting up the wrong path.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi, from the terminal : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list . . enter your password, then copy/paste the info below (in green) to a separate line at the end of the sources.list file.
From their website :
Code: Select all
deb http://www.mendeley.com/repositories/xUbuntu_9.04 /

Thanks, that worked great
I will use this method in future when adding ubuntu repositories. I had been lazy using the repository gui

Installed Mendeley today on Linux Mint 12, but only could install it from Synaptic Package Manager and not from the Mendeley home page, which installs fine in earlier versions of Gnome/Mint/Ubuntu. Hopefully, someday, Mendeley will be installable directly from the Software Manager.
