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 just had a look at Jaldhar document. It seams to me as it gives a good
"overview" about what has to be done to create a .deb with deb-make.

So Igor, if you want to create a more detailed HOWTO, just go ahead! AFAIK
the policy and the programmers manual contain some instructions on
"how-to" create the packages. This info should probably moved to a such a
manual, you want to write.

Perhaps you could post a table-of-contents when you know the contents. 

(Please start a new thread on debian-devel. This doesn't really belong on
debian-private.)


Thanks,

Chris
