well, then I think that - for some reason - JS gets this
information wrong. I am using a Germanophone IceWeasel (a.k.a.
Firefox) under Debian with preferred languages de-DE, de, en-GB
and loads of others. Interestingly I would get the RPMs, if I
click on the "Developer Build..." link ... :(
I am neither use a proxy nor any anomizer like TOR ... ;)
you are using a deb-based OS but want to download rpm files. How
should the one-
where have I written, that I want to download RPMs? If I click on
in the paragraph about: "Interestingly ...". At least I've understood it
this way.
the link to download it from the .../next site, I got for some
reason the RPM ... :( It seems to have something to do with this
bouncer stuff, where I am not acquainted with .... :(
It has nothing to do with Bouncer itself. Only with the technic that
identifies the language and OS from the browser to create the respective
URL. This will link to the Bouncer database but could also link to
something different.
click-download technic recognize this? Because of
the data that the browser is delivering to the JS script, it will
be decided to offer deb files.
Alas I do not have the possibility to tell the bouncer, that I am
not using an RPM based distro but an Debian system ... :(
We will try to modify the JS file to recognize if the user is using a
Debian-based system or not, to be able to offer deb packages or rpm. But
I cannot promise that this could work.
There is related discussion on the relea...@ooo mailing list.
Of course you can (maybe) tweak the user agent data that the
browser is sending to reach your goal. But then probably you will
have problems on other websites.
For that reason I am not using any masquerading and/or something
like TOR, proxies or the like ... :(
AFAICS this is related.
I'm sorry but I think there is no solution for your case. ;-)
Sorry to hear ... :( Thanks for your answer anyway :) Just out of
interest: Would there be a discussion about the name or is it now
written "in stone"? Like Joost I would prever something different,
but seem to have missed a discussion or there was none?
No, there is no discussion. However, now it's too late as it's already
online, known for everybody and linked on several places.
I don't think that "next" is a wrong choice but it's maybe a question of
taste. ;-)
Best regards
Marcus
