well, then I think that - for some reason - JS gets this
information wrong. I am using a Germanophone IceWeasel

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.

maybe I should have written "Interestingly I got ..." or the like ... ;) But as I have stopped the download immediately, I thought it was the right wording and case here ... ;) As I am not a native speaker of English, it is sometimes difficult to communicate with others in an language, which is not your native language.

If necessary we could clarify the last things via mail in our native language. ;-)

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.

This would be a nice feature. I hope it is possible to implement this feature.

Me too, would be a good support for all fans of Debian, Ubuntu and other distros.

There is related discussion on the relea...@ooo mailing list.

Alas I have not the spare time to subscribe to another ML ... :(

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.

Why?

Uh sorry, forgotten the most important word. :-(
Of course it is not 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.

To everybody ;?

OK, not everybody on the earth. ;-) But I think many, many who are reading the q...@ooo and relea...@ooo lists and our GullFOSS blog.

Best regards

Marcus
