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 don't think that can be 100% accurate.  What do these files look like ?

  bo/binary/base/ncurses-base_1.9.9e-1.deb
  bo/binary/base/ncurses-bin_1.9.9e-1.deb

  bo/binary/admin/pcmcia-modules-2.0.29_2.9.5-2.deb
  bo/binary/admin/pcmcia-modules-2.0.30_2.9.5-2.deb

etc.

presumably one of them gets the .deb and the other a .000 extension ?

Sorry, I'm obviously not making myself clear...

I presume the reason you are doing hard links into msdos-i386, is so that dos 
users can use the files under msdos-i386.

This implies that there is something defective about the files under 
bo/binary-*
when viewed on non-RockRidge systems.

What about if we could make the normal bo/binary-* directories just work under 
DOS, and dispense with the msdos-i386 directory on CD's ?

Good.

Cheers, Phil.
