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: How do packages get put into stable?

It's purely a function of the Distribution line in the .changes file
you upload with the package.  Allowable keywords there are stable,
unstable, contrib, non-free, and experimental.  On Monday, there will
be a new keyword, frozen.

Uploads to stable won't be installed automaticlly by the daily cron
run; dinstall has to be invoked by hand on those after I make sure
that those packages really deserve to be in stable.  That's because a
new released version is automatically created when a new package
appears into debian-updates.

I'll post something to debian-devel on Monday when rex is frozen that
clears all this up.
