Community-edition: Link from site to download deb is not functional

[agharbeia]

On the project's site, rambox.pro, the link to download the Rambox for Linux DEB, i.e [https://getrambox.herokuapp.com/download/linux_64?filetype=deb], leads instead to downloading a tar.gz file that most Ubuntu users would not know what to do with.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the website http://rambox.pro
2. go to the download section
3. click on the link to download Linux DEB, either for 32 or 64 bit

Expected behavior

The browser prompts the user to save a .deb file

Actual behavior

The browser prompts the user to save a .tar.gz file

ENVIRONMENT

The project's website.

But this is the best issue report from all of them.

Found the same issue, deb link resolves to tar.gz

[DaDummy]

It's been two months since the issue was reported.

Since the homepage is what users usually visit when they want to try a (new) software and since this should be as easy as fixing a typo in a link, that fact kind of gives the impression that the project has been abandoned or at least is in no healthy state developer-activity-wise.

@DaDummy Maybe it needs more manpower

Same for version 0.5.17 now

Why does nobody fix this?

[Ash258]

Because it's code is hosted somewhere else then this repo, so it could be fixed only by @saenzramiro and its priority is pretty low.

One way to get around this issue is to go directly to https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/releases/latest and download the latest deb from here.

Website has changed and links to deb packages have been removed. This is one way to resolve the issue. On the front page, Linux users can now download appimage (60 MiB) or snap (110 MiB) packages but the deb package (40 MiB) is still on the GitHub page.
