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.

Dan mentioned that he wants a smoother migration.

I agree that the current way of introducing LPRng is a bit
abrupt. However it is easier for me to release a new package that is
inherently more secure than to fix a package that at least I wanted to
obsolete anyway. When someone else takes over lpr: thats ok with me.

(This wasn't the first lpr security problem ...)

Currently I have one incompatibility that I couldn't solve: LPRng
seems to behave slightly differently when driving output filters, this
causes problems with netatalk.
