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.

No no, I'm more than willing to make sure the file gets there the
first time. (yeah, I forgot that I only upload it once *per upstream
release* since I've been handling a bunch of those recently :-)  I
just would rather the option of pushing it from somewhere other than
my site.  [Hmm, there's a hidden bonus here - mirror sites that happen
to *also* mirror sunsite or prep or tsx can probably save the bulk of
the storage of the source tree with hard links... I've even got a
"collapse tree with hardlinks" perl script around here somewhere...]

I guess I just don't quite see the point of repackaging away from the
most common tar file layout.  (Ideally, I'd like to see us handle
upstream tar files containing either foo-version/ or foo/, but the
former is more widespread, and it's easy to convince developers to
switch to it Because It's Right :-)

oh, and of course I don't care about renaming the tarfile itself! just
the contents.
