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.

Re: source packages and upstream source

Hi,

	I agree with most of what Bruce said.  I only submit,
 diffidently, that not all of our upstream packages are Linux related
 (Perl, for one), and we may not be able to enforce naming conventions
 on the known world ;-).

	I am only concerned because we are defining policy here.
 Rgidly enforced, that could tend to exclude some of the packages I
 find very important. I'll pipe down immediately as soon as someone
 either says this is optional, or that they would accept a script
 transforming the upstream source format (usually naming conventions)
 to our packaging tool requirements. This also applies to zip, lha,
 and other formats considered arcane by unix standards.

	I, too, am tired of being the fly in the ointment of other
 peoples proposals, and as soon as I'm convinced that our policy would
 continue to handle upstream sources packaged in ``unconventional''
 fashion, I'll bow out of this discussion and let people hammer out
 policy as they see fit.

	manoj
