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.

Hi.

At the moment I don't know anything from their experience that we could
learn but I know that many people are desperate to install it and see
what is so good about it. I try to persuade them not to do that and having
libc5-upgrades for Debian-1.3.1 would help me a lot in this task :)
The problems I see wih the release after examining their ftp site is that
I bet they don't have fully libc6 system. It is shipped with Metro-X
and I don't beleive it is libc6 compiled (I haven't noticed that new
version of Metro-X on the Metrolink web site). The same thing with
Motif they ship, applixware, etc. I guess only the "base" packages
are converted. I haven't noticed the -altdev stuff, etc. 
All "contrib" section (which is not like our contrib, what they have in
contrib are alternatives to the software in their "main" distribution,
we have those alternatives in "main") is most probably libc5 - it is
common to all RedHat releases.

Thanks.

Alex Y.
