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.

Right now, how it works is that every night there's a cron job that fixes
the Dos symlinks, along with making Packages, contents, ls-lR, and md5sums
files (assuming I didn't miss any).  Given the time it takes to make all
of these, it's really not practical to run the whole thing more than once a
day.

I might consider just making some of the files when I'm done moving stuff in,
but that means we both have to define when I'm "done"  and which steps
are most important.

Hopefully we just have a timing problem between us and ftp.debian.org.
