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.

The postinst used to call dpkg --compare-version with the wrong number
of arguments if a fresh install was being done.  This would fail, and
so the entire postinst would fail, but this change came in in -2, so
you shouldn't see it with -1.

The main problem is that 2.0.45-BETA-1 also blows away people's hooks
- a problem that's fixed in -4.

Also, user-generated menus work now, and so does the
main-menu-pre.hook.

Changes to the way the menu stuff is used so that it actually works:
there have been quite a few changes in this department.  Most of the
bugs outstanding against fvwm2 have been fixed in -4.
