At 09:18 AM 7/2/2004 -0700, Mike Noyes wrote: Everyone, What does everyone think of our new website redirecting all IE users to a firefox download? I'm asking about this because of the recent IE security problems. Homelandd Security and CERT are recommending alternate browsers for current IE users. It would be a drastic step, but we are a security conscious community. An example of the elseif redirect is in phpwebsite-comm cvs. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/phpwebsite-comm/themes/debug/ New Website Status Update: I hope to have a new preview ready early next week. I apologize for the delay. As a general matter, there is some attractiveness to your idea. Even though we are a Linux project, the reality is that a lot of our users come from a Windows background (for that matter, I use a Win2K workstation myself, and I've run Linux systems since 1992). And vulnerable Windows systems on the Internet hurt all of us, not just their own users. We should make sure that if we instruct (advise? compel? see below) people to use a non-IE browser, LEAF's own Website, and major links like the one to Charles' site, works properly with it. Aside from some minor cosmetic issues, the main thing here is to make sure we consistently use file extensions for binaries that the Web server identifies as a mime-type that will bring up the SAVE dialog, NOT one that will treat is a text download and thus turn it into jabberwocky. (This problem, still annoyingly pervasive, is the main reason I even keep a copy of IE on my Win2K system; for better or worse, IE is the only Windows browser I know of that will spot server lies about the mime-type of binaries.) As far as I can tell, our current setup is OK in this respect. But I doubt I was able to hit everything in a quick check, so others should supplement my checking, and/or we should be ready to correct promptly any problems that new users encounter. The bottom line question, though, is whether this is a good idea or not. I think that depends on the implementation. I would encourage you to consider a method that ADVISES IE users of the problem, but not one that compels them to change browsers in order to get LEAF.

If we would just admit that .lrp files are nothing more than stylized gzip-compressed tar files and change their extension to .tgz, we wouldn't have this problem. If you are referring to the text/binary problem I raised, this is not true. It applies to any idiosyncratic extension, since most Web servers treat unknown extensions as type text. Linux sites are often quite bad about this -- it's not at all unusual for me to have to switch over to wget on a Linux host to download an executable, if I'm following my normal everyday practice of using Netscape on Win2K. Not all Web servers even know what .tgz is (though I'm sure that Sourceforge does), and I've seen some that don't do .bin right. The .iso extension for CD images, and .img for (usually) floppy images, can be problems too. I think the cause is that Linux sites are usually run by people who use Linux (duh), and so they don't have to do any conversion of text files, so miss the problem. There's really no getting around it that the Web server has to get it right ... and ideally (at least in my view), it should treat unknown extensions as binary files, not text files ... but I rarely see that approach implemented. Though I've just now been trying some of the Developer Content directories for LEAF ... the place where the oddball extensions tend to turn up ... and Sourceforge is treating a pretty wide range of stuff as binary -- examples are lrp, md5, md, cfg, config, patch, c, log, and no extension at all -- so they may do it this way. But it tries to send a .iso file (in cvs accessed through K.-P. Kirchdörfer's area) as text ... so go figure. --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings Training.

If you are referring to the text/binary problem I raised, this is not true. It applies to any idiosyncratic extension, since most Web servers treat unknown extensions as type text. My point is that under the covers, a .lrp archive is really a .tgz and that the .tgz extension is orders of magnitude more common than .lrp. So by switching the extension from .lrp to .tgz, you reduce the problem by a similar order of magnitude. Out of the box, Apache is configured with .tgz as a known extension -- not so with .lrp. I understood that the first time, Tom. I'm trying to say that I disagree with it. The .lrp extension isn't the problem. It requires only a 1-line addition to an Apache config file. No big deal to do, and we get the same order of magnitude improvement. LEAF uses the .lrp extension a lot, and has for a long time, so it's worth making a modest effort to let it work for downloads ... that's a lot less work than rewriting the package installer, I'd think. And we seem to have done so; I never have a problem with an .lrp package from LEAF. The problem arises when various LEAF developers individually coin their own idiosyncratic extensions and, since they do their downloads using Linux, don't notice that they've made life hard for Windows users (except the ones who use IE, of course). Note that in my prior message, I listed an enormous number of oddball extensions that Sourceforge gets right, and only one -- .iso -- that it (or possibly a non-Sourceforge site that we're linking to; it was hard to tell) handled wrong. Since .iso is a meaningful extension to the Linux (and I think to the Windows) community, we shouldn't deal with this problem by (for example) forcing all .iso files to be renamed .iso.bin. We should fix the problem on the server. --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings Training.

The larger size is readable for me (Mozilla 1.6 on 'doze), but the darker colors make the nav-bar seem 'disconnected' from the actual website, especially on the pages that still have the smaller text. Charles, Thanks for the feedback. :-) I'll work on the navbar readability. However, I think people are misunderstanding the purpose of the navbar. In essence we now have seven websites. They share common code and a database, but everything else is separate. I created the navbar to allow moving from one website to another and back again. This is one of the reasons I used different colors for the navbar. The navbar is separate from the branch content. Everyone, If we use the Hub main menu Releases/Branches page exclusively, how will we navigate to one of the other branch sites within our website? Menus are unique to each branch (content is stored in the database using a table prefix). I also think the releases/branches page (and main-menu item) should return. There's too much difference between branches to cover with a simple nav bar. For quick access, I think listing a few of the current popular distributions on the main page is fine (ie: perhaps a bering, bering-uClibc, and 'others' link, with others taking you to the releases page). Charles, I'll work on these two suggestions.

Hi Mike, Mike Noyes wrote: I'll work on these two suggestions. I guess the information wasn't as redundant as I first though. Just to throw in my two cents - I agree that it was/is redundant. But I also feel that it is not obvious to the casual observer how to get to a specific branch without that redundancy. If we can make it easier for users to find the information they're looking for, I'd say it's very well worth the redundancy. It's obviously not a big deal for somebody who knows the page, but I'd say we should make it as easy as possible for new users to find the relevant information (well, either that, or be prepared to answer tons of help, I can't find the packages page anymore questions).

Maybe it should be as today a Branches entry in the Main Menu. (As I look on the pages, the small entries on top are the most important, but can easily overlooked. Others have commented on this also. I'm open to suggestions. Note: I got the top navbar idea from the SF.net OSDN navbar. http://sourceforge.net/ 3) Derivation in the Main Menu is to much for a issue which is only for history and those who interested in it to be part of Main Menu; instead I prefer something like http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpagemenu=9page_id=2 Noted. I kind of like the imagemap. It's simple and easy to navigate. I created it, so I'm probably biased. Note: I plan on updating the imagemap as soon as I can figure out my font problem with dia on suse. 4) I don't like those serife fonts and prefer sans-serife, but it's matter of taste I agree; Web designers got into a bad habit of using sans-serif fonts exclusively. Font support is much better now. There is no reason to avoid serif fonts now. Serif fonts provide hinting for eye travel that makes reading easier. How many books do you know of that are printed using sans-serif fonts exclusively? 5) I do not understand right menu What's related - is that generated dynamically? Yes. It's generated by the fatcat module. It's supposed to act as a site cross-reference. 6) the sort order of Project Members on http://leaf.steinkuehler.net/devel/ is beyond me - if there is any. I also liked the comments as today, seems they have gone The sort order will be fixed. I'm still working on that branch. The current order matches our project member listing on SF.net. 7) I understand that this is a lot of work!!! Thx Mike! I'm enjoying it. :-) -- Mike Noyes mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net Projects: ffl, leaf, phpwebsite, phpwebsite-comm, sitedocs --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
