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: Interesting dpkg issue, plus thoughts...

Wow, when you put it this way, it seems so very dramatic.  :-).

As of 1.4.0.19 (uploading now), dpkg-source can now correctly extract
all Debian source archives currently in the distribution (with the
exception of six that I have verified by hand to be broken).

It would still of course be a wonderful public service if someone were
to fix cpio to properly handle filenames over 100 characters, though I
personally don't plan to take the time to fix it myself.

For anyone interested in doing a security audit of the new
dpkg-source, the relevant changes are in &checktarsane() and
&checktarcpio().

Long live the the Debian way-of-life,
 - Klee
