We decided on that format instead of foo.html.lang because apache can get confused on the mime type. Local links should be relative and only name the file base, e.g. foo.
On a related note, is boot-floppies responsible for the files in releases/{slink,potato}/? There are a number of problems with links there and I need to know who to forward problems/bugs to (and there are currently a LOT of broken links). If I had access to the source, I'd even be willing to fix problems with the links. In the future, could you send mail directly to debian-www? We'd combine webmaster and debian-www, but webmaster occasionally gets mail not meant for public consumption. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
