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.

Mike,

I was wrong, you were right.

The open development paradigm is our main advantage, IMO. Dpkg/dselect
is going to remain an advantage only if we take the responsibility to keep
it up.

Regarding the rest of your message, I would like to have the entire
release capable of being built from scratch automaticaly. It would help
with the ports. The new format package conversion and the package order
tools are supposed to facilitate that. It should be possible to put all
of the packages that represent the "core" in a directory, find the
order in which to build them by running pkg-order on a subset of the
Packages file, and then build them automaticaly. In practice there may be
some bootstrapping required because of circular dependencies.
