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.

Yes, with both libg++27 versions.

The rules file is very unorganized in that reguard. There are several
"installation" actions that are done in build that should/could be put off
till "binary".
Every time I have tried to reorganize this rules file, I have ended up
with something that would not build the package. Now that it is truely
broken I will go back to that issue and see what I can do.

I believe, in the mean time, I will build a "static" linked version and
see how that works.
If anyone can come up with a better solution, please let me know.

Thanks,
