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.

First of all, I'm back from an extended stay in Israel and will begin
generating bugfixes today. I'm sorry for the delay, it wasn't planned
to be this long.

As for the libcrypt issue, it is possible to generate a libcrypt using 
a md5 based crypt library function, which would not require
distribution from outside the US. 
On the other hand, libc5 includes the same functionality and was
always distributed from within the US.

So if we want to be sure, we could switch all crypt funtionality to
use md5 and make libcrypt available from the non-US site as an add-on.
