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.

Glad you sent this warning--I was about to upload 1.4.0.7 myself,
which would have contained my i18n patches.

If you're going to build 1.4.0.7, would you do me a serious favor
and accept my internationalized 1.4.0.6.hacked sources as a base
for 1.4.0.7?  I've been having a terrible time getting the
postscript manuals built...
