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.

Free software that can't be compiled under Debian

These are OK to put in the regular distribution. Please try to get an
MD5 checksum from the author so that you can have some confidence that
their distribution has not been modified, or have a Debian maintainer
build the programs on a DOS system (or whatever they require).

Peter Anvin (SysLinux author) says he can't find good documentation on as86,
and the only good debugger he has for SysLinux is the Turbo Debugger. He notes
that SysLinux is very "hairy" due to size constraints, and that makes it more
difficult to debug.

It would be nice to have as86 take the Turbo syntax. I think I've thrown out
all of my old Turbo manuals, alas.

Please put it in "experimental", or remove it.

	Thanks
