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.

[Fwd: ANNOUNCE: OKA: PGP 2.6.* authentication free for some corporate uses]

This might be of interest in integrating with dpkg.

Sorry for the attachment method, I'm doing this in netscape.

Announcing "OK Authentication", OKA, which is a modified, reduced
functionality PGP (Tm) that does not contain the IDEA encryption algorithm.
It is still able to authenticate PGP digital signatures given a PGP public
key ring.  A description on how to create OKA from PGP 2.6.* source is
available at

	http://www.bell-labs.com/nsbd/oka.html

No patches or actual source code is supplied because that would require
a complex release procedure from inside my company.

Why bother making OKA?  Because it can be free for non-revenue-generating
corporate use, and is still useful if all you need to do is authenticate
PGP digital signatures.  PGP 5.0 may make it unnecessary, though, since
it is supposed to be able to select alternate algorithms, but it depends
on how liberal the copyright for PGP 5.0 turns out to be.

For more details, see the above web page.
