Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-06-24 09:48:13 UTC 
I've installed LibreOffice 24.2.3.2 on my machine using DEB files. Now that an update is available, I click the reddish "two arrows in circle" icon at the top, and get to a dialog. When I press "Download...", I'm taken to a web page:

https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/

but the default there is to offer me RPMs for Linux. I should be sent to somewhere which will offer me DEBs instead.

In concrete terms, you want the URL to contain parameters that would then be interpreted by JavaScript on the website and offer an appropriate package (considering the upcoming website doesn't use PHP).

That is indeed the only way I can think off... it could be a different document address, or some GET parameters.
