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.

Re: THOUGHT: New 'user-contributed' section?



There have been several good suggestions generated by my previous proposal
that have lead me to modify my idea.

	1. Provide public-incoming (or user-contrib) where anyone may
	   upload their Debianized package.

	2. Continue to provide "unstable" where only packages uploaded by
	   "certified" developers will be placed (from
	   private/project/Incoming as is now done)

	3. Packages will move from public-incoming and unstable into
	   "tested" only when they have been verified sound by the testing
	   group. Packages from public-incoming will get more severe
	   testing to hunt for possible trojans.

I see two major advantages to this scheme. First: testing can begin the
day after a new release. That is, testing will be an ongoing process, just
like development is now. All the latest packages will be available and
segregated so that those who wish to be on the "bleeding edge" will be
satisfied without having to worry about "outsiders". The "tested" tree can
grow from base files to the full system in a carefully integrated fashion.
When a full distribution of packages exists on "tested" it will be
possible to make a new release.

Are we getting closer to consensus?

Waiting is,

Dwarf
