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 don't read the mailinglists daily, but for those who haven't
heard it yet: menu-0.11 (on your local mirror) has a file
/usr/doc/menu/examples/dwww, that can generate the menu.html
file (ok, I didn't know how to call the file, change one line
and the file is called "index.html"). (to make it work, copy
the file to /etc/menu-methods/dwww).

The file will need a "template" (called menu.html-menu, also in the
example dir, that needs to be copied to /var/www/menu.html-menu
for dwww to work. The generated "index.html" will look like: (see below).

Or simly change the "rootprefix" in /etc/menu-methods/dwww.
This script is really very configurable (a few more changes, and
you're generating the fvwm2 system.rc file).

Personally, I don't think the config files (/etc/menu-methods/dwww)
stuff should be in the menu package, but rather in the dwww package.
That's why I didn't put the files in the right locations for the
menu package.


The current look of "index.html" (called /var/www/menu.html):
