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: how to fix xterm

isn't that pretty much the pty-wrapper idea that Ted T'so proposed a
while back?  [Don't know if I'd bother with the environment variables,
you can just specify a fixed set of fd's up front and use dup2 to make
it work.]  It's certainly a good idea; the xterm sources are
sufficiently complex/arcane/twisted that it might be *very* hard to
actually make it work.  (I'd think about doing a "subprocess" version
as well, though, for something like screen to use... it would probably
require that your OS has sendmsg(fd), but doesn't even linux have that
by now?)

I've also seen mention of a "ptyserver" idea, though again that
probably used sendmsg to shuffle the fd's.  If you can hide it all
behind a decent "getpty" interface, it's probably worth it.
