Hiya! I’ve been using Openfire for a number of time units, and I’m generally happy with it.
But there’s one aspect that gets me raging mad: The upgrade process. Every bloody time there’s a new version, I have to dance with the automatic downloads. I’m not downloading via browser on the server; I’m not interested in a bloody automatic download pushed to my local computer. I just want a direct link I can paste into a shell where I’ve already typed "wget ". Doesn’t anyone else use servers for, you know, server stuff?
Please start thinking of server admins who just want to download a package remotely
Should work with other installer variants. Or you can download it via browser on your workstation and put somewhere, where you can copy it from the server (SAMBA, SSH, etc.).
I have also removed stupid tags from your message.
Could we put this wget example on the download page? I also find myself often in the situation where I would want to grab the latest release from a CLI.
Ideally we would want host your own debian package repository that users can add to their apt sources.
