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: Release of 1.3.2?



The main consideration is that we not bump the _version_number_ without a
big change. It's fine to update the archive and even the official CD any
time we want, but inventory seems to rot when we change the version number.
It's about perception. Thus, I've been thinking about a revision date or
something that would let us distinguish changes without changing the release
number.

	Thanks
