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.

I believe updating the Packages file and msdos links are done
automatically by cron jobs.  Does anyone know if they should be run
manually?  Besides that, all you should have to do is verify that the
uploads are complete and correct (i.e. all files listed in the
.changes file are found and the checksums match), move the new files
into place and remove the old ones (I assume Simon makes nightly
backups in case we really screw something up).

Sorry.  I'm still trying to reach Carl.
