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.

Right (regarding lpr). That's why I sent them the location of lprng,
including the md5sums and an explanation. Though I must admit that
there might have been ambiguities in the wording.

According to the changes file I uploaded 2.3.12-3 to stable and
unstable, but as I see now it never appeared there. Is there some
overrides file magic required?

For lprng I have outstanding bug reports on problems with netatalk on
apsfilter, on the other hand I have reports (and personal experience)
regarding funny behaviour in lpr's network printing. I believe lprng
to be at least as reliable as the current Debian lpr.

So the following options remain:
- Push lprng into frozen.
- Fix lpr. Details on the bug would be needed.

(As I already mentioned I do not want to invest time into lpr. And I'm
quite busy right know. Shurely I'd accept volunteers.)
