Inconsistent URLs for Prince for Books downloads

arthurattwell
Hi

I notice the download URLs for the Ubuntu and Debian builds of Prince for Books are inconsistent, in that some use hyphens and others use underscores.

Would it be possible to make these consistent? Hyphens seem to be used elsewhere.

Background: we use a Node wrapper that downloads and installs the Ubuntu builds of Prince on `npm install`. Our node-prince package lets us specify the Prince version for a book project in the project's `package.json` file (along with a path to a licence file). At the moment, our installer expects hyphens in the Prince download URL, and it would be convenient not to have to error-handle for underscores.

I also hope this use of Prince downloads is within your terms of service, it certainly is convenient for us.

Are you referring to the difference between .deb and .tar.gz packages? Because there are different naming conventions are play for those package types.

Oh, silly me, sorry, Mike. I misread our own installation code -- the issue has nothing to do with your filenames but with our Ubuntu version. Thank you for your prompt reply, and apologies for misusing your time!
