Re: [Speed-dreams-devel] Request to change the download links for Ubuntu

[Christoph K. <c_...@gm...>]

Hello,

thank you but the links for amd64 still point to the archive.
There is no need to seperate i386 from amd64. The correct version gets fetched 
from the repository. So I suggest to just remove the links for amd64 and to 
not mention an architecture in the link to PlayDeb at all.
