The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: Help! Where are our ftp sites?

I don't know anything about the status of ftp.debian.org, except that Matt
has commented over the last few days about various changes that are going
on with/near that machine.  All of the changes sounds positive, and none
sounded like they'd result in long outages.

The machine at that IP address is now called old-master.debian.org.

This I don't understand, I'm logged into it now, must be a transient closer
to you.

This is because the debian.org nameservers are advertising the address of the
"new" master, but the NIC hasn't processed the update request yet, and knows
the IP address of the old master since it was an authoritative nameserver for
the zone.  This should be cleared up within 48 hours, if the NIC does their
usual thing.

If I'd really had my act together, we could've moved the primary before we
tried to move the host, so that this 48-72 hour window of address confusion 
for master.debian.org didn't happen... unfortunately, I didn't (too bleeping
busy, which is why master is moving in the first place), so my apologies to
everyone until the dust settles.

> 206.139.73.161 does not exist (Authoritative answer)

This should be yielding:

Non-authoritative answer:
161.73.139.206.in-addr.arpa     name = master.debian.org

It works for me...
