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.

Why don't we make our own repository of packages for Red Hat of
.rpm's that have been converted from our own .deb's (using 
Alien/Martian) and are known to install cleanly?

I think the free software movement could benefit if we reduce the
amount of duplication of effort involved in packaging for the
two different systems.

I'd be willing to do some converting and testing, since I'm
going to try out Red Hat on one of my machines (just for
curiosity -- I'm going to try FreeBSD too).

I think I brought this topic up on debian-user before, but nobody
else seemed all that interested.  Of course, since it would 
probably be the Red Hat users that would be the primary beneficiaries,
I'm not surprised.  But I think it would be good for the Debian
project.

Cheers,
