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, there's no search. there's a summary by package name link which
lists all bugs sorted by package...currently a 239K file. That's too
big. Its size and the time it takes to download discourages people from
searching for existing bugs.

The bug system needs a search facility....which could be used in both
web and mail interfaces.


The bug system may be getting too big for a text file database to handle
(52MB at the moment).  it may be time to start using postgres or msql. 
Both are perfectly suited to this sort of task, both are usable in perl
and other languages and both are easy to interface to the web. 

Interfacing *sql to the web is easy, the hardest part will be interfacing
it to the mail system (and even that shouldn't be too difficult - we have
ian's code as a working example, and we also have a debian package of a
perl module for working with mail messages)

On the weekend I will download copies of ian's scripts and maybe some of
the database to my system and start work on porting it to use msql.  I'm
too busy at work to start before then.
