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.

Are you people totally helpless, or do you just like to whine?  I've
said repeatedly that it would be trivial to modify the current libc5
in hamm to build old-style -dev packages.  To prove it, I did it
myself in less than 10 minutes!

Rather than uploading binaries though, I'm attaching the diff I
created relative to version 5.4.38-0.1.  This will hopefully force one
of you to at least raise a finger to build and upload it yourself.
