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.

My appologies if I have been out of line. I followed the Policy Manual in
the section on "non-maintainer upgrades" in assigning a version number and
only provided it on my site because of some users problems getting things
from Incoming.

I had thought that there was. I hope that this patch will stay in place
for some time to come. I have been listening to the discussion on
linux-kernel about this topic and many people who have tried to go the
libc5 upgrade route have had things break misserably (including gcc and
tar, both pretty crucial to fixing things) and still can't load modules.

Thanks for all your fine work,
