I can retitle open bugs? If so, how?

I vote against that, because it is just one package so far. Let's say we package KDE Plasma and there are more than 1 package which is not a font, that is a reason to make changes to the http client. > In the meantime, we could work around the issue by using a copy hosted > on another server, if possible, such as archive.org or sdf.org as you > note, or fossies.org (it mirrors a number of things.) > > Thoughts? Archive.org replicates every wrong and right including mime types. -> same issue, different domain. I did not upload the font itself to archive.org but to sdf.org , I should also get a reply from in-berlin.org (an ISP, fast datacenters) if they have a public download host and would like to host this font outside of the kldp.net domain, explaining the reasons etc. > Thanks, > Ludo’. thanks, -- ng irc://loupsycedyglgamf.onion:67/~NiAsterisk https://psyced.org:34443/NiAsterisk/ EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/Echt_Dezentrales_Netz/en
