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.

I think it should stay centralized, otherwise we get even more problems.
Bug reporting, www pages and ftp archives are all interconnected.

Theoretically you can also compile stuff here, but unless you have other
means to do it, you definitely shouldn't.

I am _thinking_ about adding another machine, which could be used
to periodically recompile the WHOLE distribution and to create
automatically new packages which will then be finally consistent 
in the environment they have been created in.

Developers would only upload source packages at that point, which would
get integrated into the source tree.

This is something we should work towards to. It would mean quite a bit of
work to get to this point, but it is the only way to get a clean
distribution. All commercial OS developers (yes even including M$)
do this.
