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.

Re: Is it time to abandon Dpkg?

Even if we adopt RPM, we can still distinguish ourselves from
Red Hat.  We could, for example, concentrate on quality,
stability, and security; being on the bleeding edge; high
performance; servers instead of desktops; desktops instead of
servers (compete with Caldera, not Red Hat); or using only GPL
or BSD style copyrights.

Having a little less diversity in the Linux world would be a
good thing. I don't know if that means that Debian should just
quit or not, but we should think carefully about adopting RPM.
It would help if we had an objective techical comparison of
RPM and dpkg. What other differences are there, except that
dpkg is ours and dselect has a lousy user interface?
