Talk:Download

Add introductory paragraph to Download page?

What do you think of adding a plain language paragraph (above the top-most green Note) to the Download page which explains about version/platform differences and is a reminder of Version Template updating?

As of Tuesday, 5 December 2023, the most current Gramps release is the 5.1.6 version. 
 Initial release is for Linux OS and new installers for target platforms are updated by volunteers. So, updated release lags will correspond to interest levels. The released versions on the various platforms are: Version 5.1.6 for Linux, 3.2.5 on the Version Linux Live CD, 5.1.6 on Mac OS X, 5.1.6 for the Portable App for Mac, 5.1.5 for generic 32-bit Windows, 5.1.6 for more powerful 64-bit Windows, and 5.1.6 for the Portable App for Windows.  For a history of Gramps release versions, see Previous releases of Gramps.

(just wrote an example for the Category:Templates Portal page and thought it could be re-used.

Package name for Linux - gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb or python3-gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb?

On this page package name is - python3-gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb:

sudo dpkg -i python3-gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb

On https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/releases/v5.1.2 package name is - gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb: https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/releases/download/v5.1.2/gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb

Change python3-gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb to gramps_5.1.2-1_all.deb please.

I've changes the name as you've requested (by the way you could have done it yourself) but note the name is purely an example as it mentions (change the filename to match the one you downloaded) in the paragraph. --Gioto (talk) 13:37, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
