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, but I think that the whole rpm stuff is hype and I fear that
Martian and Alien are already to far - Just imagine the following
begining of a mail in debian-user: 

"I just found out that Redhat has version x.y.z of sysvinit and my Debian
has x.y.z-1 , and decided to try alien..."

This issue has been talked a million times through - allways the same 
conclusion - we want stick with dpgk.

And if redhat is planning to add all the features of dpkg to rpm, 
why don't they just start using dpkg instead of asking us to use rpm???

Riku Voipio. (tired the wars on debian-private)

ps. When you wanted to split debian because of leadership issues, 
nobody wanted to do that. But when a move to rpm was suggested, 
there was someone who was ready to make his own distrubution based on 
dpkg, if debian went rpm.
