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: archive changes for release

I don't see why this isn't necessary. We want the "debian.rules binary"
target, and the "source" and "diff" targets, to build the
correctly-named file. Currently it will build one without the
underscores. This means if you try to re-build packages on a port, or
if you have some other reason to re-build packages, you'll have to
change all of their file names after the build.

We will need that gig anyway in less than 3 months. I can't believe that
there will be that many unchanged packages in that period.

Be sure when you make the change tonight that you don't lose the different
files in "unstable". Anything that was moved in there since I created
"buzz", etc. I will also need to copy the newly-uploaded network packages
into "buzz", and possibly one or two other packages.

I will look at the condition of the mirror sites on Sunday, and decide
if the release can go ahead on Monday. I fear that will not be the case.
Most mirror systems have a limit on the number of files they will remove,
and we will probably trigger it with this.

I feel this is a very poorly planned change. I really wish you'd reconsider.
