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.

archive changes for release

If it's OK with you guys, I will be posting a message something like
this to debian-announce later today, and mailing it to mirror site
admins.

Attention Mirror Sites: Debian mirror change Wednesday, June 12

On Wednesday June 12, at 1200 Pacific Daylight Time (1700 UTC), I will
make following changes in the Debian FTP archive. Some simple preparation
on your part will spare your FTP mirror from having to retrieve several
hundred megabytes of new data.

1. The directory "/debian/debian-0.93" will be removed.
2. The directory "/debian/buzz" will appear, with several hundred megabytes
   contents (the Debian 1.1 pre-release).
3. The symbolic link "/debian/pre-release" will be created, pointing at
   the "buzz" directory.

The directory "/debian/buzz" will be a copy of the existing
"/debian/unstable" directory. The "/debian/unstable" directory will
continue to exist, and will be used for development of Debian 1.2 .
I will make the copy by creating a "tar" archive of the contents of
"/debian/unstable" and extracting that copy to "/debian/buzz". Time
stamps, modes, user-ids, and group-ids will be preserved in the copy.

YOU SHOULD DUPLICATE THIS PROCESS and make a tar archive of "unstable"
directory, which you then extract into "buzz". If you do this, your
mirror will probably only have to retrieve a few files. Otherwise, you'll
have to retrieve the entire system.

Some time after this happens, we will create a symbolic link
/debian/debian-1.1 pointing at the "buzz" directory. But we won't
do that until we release the system. Several programs in "buzz" that
currently have open bug reports will be updated before the release.

We plan to duplicate this code-named-directory procedure for every
Debian release.

	Many Thanks
