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: Qmail question...



Hi...

Since I've got my name beside the qmail package in the "Work in Progress
FAQ, I guess I ought to answer this one...

We certainly will have a qmail package. As a matter of fact, I'm almost
finished with the package. I just have to modify my preinst a bit so that
it can add the qmail users and groups if there's not present in
/etc/{passwd,group}. I'd also like to write a 'smailconfig'-like
qmailconfig script, but that can wait until a -2 version.

As for when it'll make it into 'unstable'... that depends a bit on Dan
(qmail's author). I've had to email him about qmail's copyright and license
(qmail's current discussion of copyright issues constists only of "qmail
0.91 Copyright 1996, D. J. Bernstein). One thing is that it looks like he'd
rather not have qmail *too* widely distributed until 1.0 version is
out. (At least one major change is coming up before the 1.0
release)... I'll explain him about 'unstable', 'experimental, etc. and
hopefully he'll ok at least putting the 0.9x versions into experimental.

So... In short, we'll have a qmail package as soon as the package
maintainer (me) is done sorting out qmail's copyright with djb (qmail's
author).
