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.

I guess you mean ROM space.

It would be really nice to be able to have most Debian files in a
shared, read-only space. That's been part of the sytem architecture for
years. Conversion of documents to HTML can indeed be done in the
postinst (or at run-time), but it requires a (possibly large)
collection of text tools to be installed.  I'm not sure I understand
the advantages of that over doing it at package build time.

Vincent Renardias has been working on implementing it for WN.  WN has a
technical problem in that it wants to put a security-related file and
an index file in each directory that it serves. In the telephone
business they call that "in-band signaling" :-) I've suggested a way to
deal with this, but I don't think anyone has implemented it yet. It
would be easier to use a browser that keeps its security information
separately from the data it serves.

If it turns out nobody does it, I am just going to have to try to
implement it myself. If I can't do it, _then_ I'll withdraw the standard.

	Thanks
