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 find them useful
	1) as examples for the other packages I maintain
	2) to quickly search for bugs (especially in libc :-) by
simply opening the .tar.gz file in emacs...
	3) to rebuild "special" versions (-g, or with kerberos
support) of things that are already packaged

I'll have to look at the CVSUP stuff that FreeBSD does; it will be
interesting to see how they handle the *major* performance and
non-scaling problems that CVS has, as well as the access control
issues.  It will also be interesting to see how to handle debian-style
"parallel branches" -- CVS handles that very poorly, it's better to
have a single branch for the upstream release and then mini-branches
for the debian-changes for it [a little messier to upgrade, but -j -j
handles it ok.]  Yes, I used to keep my own packages under cvs.
Didn't survive the conversion to the new packaging format, as it
didn't actually *buy* me anything...
