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.

Maybe both sides (Redhat and Debian) should think about a new
packaging system. They could compare the advantages and disadvantages
from both systems and create the ultimate packaging system. The new
packaging system could use much of the code from dpkg and rpm. Of course
the new packaging system should have a new name then. This could have
a positiv effect on other (all?) distributions as well. We would have
a common linux package format with the advantages from both dpkg and rpm.


Thanks,

Peter
