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.

How do packages get put into stable?

Perhaps it is simply because I am still somewhat new at this,
but I don't understand how packages move from unstable to stable.  When
I packaged nedit for instance, unstable was marked in the debian/changelog
file if I remember correctly, since I am stuck on a HP-UX machine today. :-(
Anyway, if I compiled "unstable" into the binary, when a package is ready to
move to stable, does it need to be recompiled with the word "stable" in the
changelog, or is there some much more clever way?  What, if anything, do
developers need to do to move things from unstable to stable?  Also, as I 
understand it, packages ALWAYS get released into unstable initially, right?
 -Erik
