Updater should not send Kernel and GTK version

Closed (moved) Issue created 10 years ago by Georg Koppen

Not sure how exactly the script works that detects the .mar file the user needs to download but I guess the user should not be in a need to send the Kernel and GTK version to get the correct one. Testing a bit my update URL looks something like https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update/alpha/Linux_x86-gcc3/Linux%203.14-2-686-pae%20(GTK%202.24.24)/4.0-alpha-2/en-US?force=1

I somehow doubt we have an own directory for every Kernel+GTK combination. Thus, what the updater should send in my opinion is something like

You have then the update channel, the platform + architecture, the current version and the language. That should be enough for a successful update.
