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.

It was me who repackaged the packages. They can be downloaded from

	master.debian.org:    ~schwarz/x11/

If everyone here seams to agree that we should rather fix 3.2 instead of
pushing 3.3 in to quickly, can't we just move my fixed packages in
Incoming or somewhere where people recognize them?

The "flashing" note in the README file should really be replaced by the
fixed packages.

Note, that I discovered yet another bug in the X 3.2 packages today. The
xservers require "xbasfnt" to be installed, but they don't "depend" on it.
Mark, do you know this bug? If not, I'll file it to bugs.debian.org.


Thanks,

Chris
