The machine isn't as fast as the SPARC T5, it is at least considerably faster than the Sun Fire 2000 currently available as porterboxes and buildds. The T5240 will provide a new sparc64 porterbox accessible for all DDs within the next days if everything goes well. The machine is already up and running and James already set up the porterbox configuration, I think it just needs to be registered now with DSA if I remember the procedure correctly. So, if you have anything that needs to be tested on sparc64, you will be able to do that again on the new porterbox. Adrian -- .''`.

Thanks for pointing me to this resource. I think I have read in it
before. I read the page you have mentioned and some others.
Appreciating the beauty of women, and men! and any human being
regardless of gender identity, or even a flower or animal is one thing.
I have no issue with that.
What women wrote on the page you mentioned is something else. And what
from what I read here upstream developers do with the weboob project is
also something else. I see no appreciation for the beauty of women in
the way how weboob developers name the binaries.

So this is more about reactions from people who read this mailing list
or may be pointed to this thread, but are not necessarily members of or
contributors to the Debian project?
My question was more aimed what members of or contributors to the Debian
project can do to improve the current situation, cause as you say Debian
that means the people behind it cannot control what is happening outside
of it.
Of course this does not make those threats any better or any less
harmful. But to improve the current situation within the project, in
case it needs improvement, which I bet it still does, may help to
provide at least some sense of safety and security for women.

From my own experience I do not agree with that. Oppression of men by
women may not be that visible, may be more subtle and (probably by far)
not that wide-spread, but I have experienced it personally. For reasons
to protect my own privacy and safety I do not share the details of that
experience here on this list.
Also I recently just read an article from a woman about dating men and
had the impression that there was a lot of hatred and objectification
towards men in it. I understood where it came from as I read from past
experiences of that woman with dating, but still, I did not feel
respected as one most would call a man, after reading that article.
So from my experience it is not as simple as black and white. Also not
from what I heard or read, even from women.
But it does not matter any way. Whatever anyone else does cannot justify
or make appropriate or not appropriate what I do. So whether women
oppress men or not cannot make what weboob upstream developers do any
more appropriate or not appropriate.
It even does not matter who started the violence or who did more or who
did less. What matters is to end it. Step by step.

I understand. You and your friends have gone through similar situations many times. I am sorry that this happened to you. I won´t defend the men who you experienced these situations with. They were certainly not acting in my name. I have been accused of being overly sensitive myself, many times. I know how that feels.

I welcome you to the Debian project. I know I can only speak for myself, and I know that my acceptance may not necessarily help you to feel safer. I agree with you about changing the messages and changing the binary names in the way you wrote. I am also okay with seeing the package be removed from the archive, in case the former would be too much work for the maintainer to maintain. > I have the feeling that none of us really wants to be the target of > the retaliations. At least not me, sorry. I accept that. I won´t urge you to write anything more in this thread. I will continue my letting go journey to contribute my part to healing what is wounded between men and women, to contribute my part to end the violence between the genders. Thank you for your openness. I felt like offering you a virtual hug. However I am unsure whether you´d like to accept one from me, from someone you likely do not know although you might have seen me at DebConf15 in Heidelberg. So I let that go as well. As well as any wanting of approval from you for what I wrote here, or any wanting of controlling your experience, any wanting to make you feel better and more welcome than how you feel. Ciao. -- Martin

Many people have already explained why this is difficult.
But it is not necessary to have personal testimony for each question
of this kind. The kind of problem the web-oob package has is, sadly,
not that unusual in geekdom, or the world in general - although this
seems to be quite a bad case. Normally it's in conference or
marketing materials, and not so embedded in the software as well.
So we can read what women (and their allies) have written on this. A
good place to start is often the Geek Feminism Wiki. I looked there
and found this:

I am reliably informed that things are *much* worse if your online
presence looks female. I haven't tried the experiment.

If we would send police to arrest the people who send "women with
opinions" death and rape threats, or doxx them, etc. ? This is not
within Debian's gift. But, we can stop making the problem worse by
perpetuating cultural practices which devalue women.
> So what concrete steps would help to start shifting that in the

I don't agree with this "bothsidesism". The problem here is the
oppression of women, by, mostly, men. There is not any significant
amount of oppression of men by women.
What concrete steps, you ask ? Well, we could start by removing
gratuitous sexual references from software which has nothing to do
with sex.[1]
We could also stop producing absurd (and readily and frequently
debunked) counterarguments to explain why this isn't a problem, or why
doing anything about it would lead inevitably to awful censorship,
etc. (FAOD I'm not really referring to your messages here, but there
have been some truly silly examples in this thread.)
Thanks for your attention.

[content warning: sexual references]
The point "nothing to do with sex" is very important. I would love
for there to be software in Debian for driving sex toys, for example.
Most existing systems are quite proprietary and often creepy and full
of security holes. This is a very real software freedom problem
affecting a very intimate area of people's lives. Free sex toy
software would naturally talk about cocks and boobs and things - but
it would mean your actual or simulated cock or whatever. I also have
no problems with the purity tests, or fortunes-off (although the
latter ought to have its name changed to -offensive as per policy).

I won't speak for anyone else than me, so I won't claim to know why others haven't stepped in into this discussion. We have been through similar situations many times, so we kind of know what to expect from them, particularly when upstream is apparently trolling on purpose to see how far they can go until someone complains. Stepping up and publicly complaining about these situations generally leads to some kind of harassment and the usual accusations of oversentitiveness, not being able to develop a thick skin, restricting freedom of speech in such a way that one might think that fixing the issue would immediately lead to a tyrannical totalitarian dystopia, etc. I am not keen on enduring all that usually comes to us when talking out loud in these situations that, honestly, I think are intentionally crafted to burn us out until we eventually stop complaining out of tiredness. In my opinion, the messages should be clean up so that they are not intentionally aggressive against any social group, and the binaries should be renamed to more useful and less provocative names. The reasons have been perfectly explained in previous emails, so I won't repeat them. And, be aware that, if the messages and binary names stay as they are, they will probably be a reference to support the argument of us not being too welcoming, so we might as well have an argumentative ready to explain it when confronted about it. But I'm not gonna start a fight out of this, because I know what is coming, and I also feel that it is what upstream wants in the same place.
