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.

Hmm ... I'm not too happy about syslinux here.  By its very nature, it
couldn't be compiled by Debian packages (unless we've got a Linux to DOS
cross-compiler like go32crs, but I don't think we have).  If we include
the complete source to be compiled on Turbo C, and have compiled it
ourselves, I suggest the rules should be bent slightly in this special
case - bootstrap support is important, and can be tricky in such
respects ...

Thoughts, anyone?

Nikhil.
