My Debian Activities in May 2016

FTP assistant

This month I marked 286 packages for accept and rejected 35. I also sent 13 emails to maintainers asking questions. Apart from this nothing unusual happened this month.

Debian LTS

This was my twenty-third month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian.

This month my all in all workload reached a new high with 31.00h. This resulted in patches for 35 CVEs and the following uploads:

  • [DLA 454-1] minissdpd security update
  • [DLA 453-1] extplorer security update
  • [DLA 455-1] asterisk security update
  • [DLA 457-1] mplayer security update
  • [DLA 458-1] mplayer2 security update
  • [DLA 459-1] mercurial security update
  • [DLA 466-1] ocaml security update
  • [DLA 467-1] xerces-c security update
  • [DLA 485-1] extplorer security update
  • [DLA 493-1] openafs security update
  • [DLA 495-1] libtasn1-3 security update
  • [DLA 499-1] php5 security update

Thanks a lot to all the people who answered my calls for testing, especially Gabriel Filion, Joost van Baal-Ilić and Stefan!

This month I also had another term of doing frontdesk work and looked for CVEs that are important for Wheezy LTS or could be ignored.

Other stuff

As already mentioned in an earlier post, I tried to enliven the Internet of Things in Debian. If you would like to help in this field, please drop me a line.
