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.

if it proves too difficult to merge the standards, then the .deb ar
archive could contain debian.control.tar.gz & redhat.control.tar.gz
instead of just control.tar.gz. If files follow the FHS, that should
cover most compatibility problems.

great idea.  a debian specific "getting started" type book and a "debian
developers' guide" would be good.

I'd be very interested in being involved in this - i could write a
chapter or two, and certainly contribute to any "tips & tricks" section.
