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.

Oh, I see. Sorry for my ignorance.

I must confess that I like the idea very much, but only for source
packages. Otherwise our packages will grow 33% in size.

BTW: I would like source packages to be splitted in three parts:

1. orig source.
2. "usual" patches
3. ./debian/* stuff

We could transform 3. into a single ASCII file, but leaving 2. as a
gzipped diff.

In fact I already do this for some of my packages (splitting 2 from 3, not
making 3 an ascii file).
