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.

I'd asked Klee a while ago to take samba off his hands an he agreed.
Unoftunetaely things came up and I've been too busy to do anything
about it. I had just srarted packaging 17p2 this weekend (a long one
for us :)) but was better to it. I had been planning to talk to
you about sambades as both of us are not from the US..

But if you want to do both des and non-des then that fine by me.
