Just recently a new version of my favorite command shell (Fish, the friendly interactive shell, version 1.23.0) was released. In order to keep my Ubuntu 7.10 desktop system updated, I went ahead and created a debian package file (.deb) to install locally.
After successfully installing the file myself, I decided that it might be useful to other Unbuntu users who use the older version. After uploading it to www.buberel.org and testing the download, I noticed that the file was shipped with an unknown mime-type, causing Firefox to open the contents of the compressed file in the browser directly.
After a bit of digging around, I added the following line to my Apache configuration file and reloaded the server:
AddType application/x-deb .deb
The package can now be correctly downloaded from here.
