FTP master
This month I accepted 276 packages, which is bit more than two months before. On the other side I rejected 34 uploads, which is the same as last month. The overall number of packages that got accepted this month was 442.
Debian LTS
This was my fifty fourth month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian.
This month my all in all workload has been 30h. This was the first month were I did not upload any package, but only prepared a wireshark package for testing. It is available at people.d.o and contains patches for 31 CVEs. As lots of dissectors are affected, I would be very glad if others could have a look at it.
I also started to work on CVEs of exiv2 and krb5.
Last but not least I did some days of frontdesk duties.
Debian ELTS
This month was the seventh ELTS month.
During my allocated time I prepared a wireshark package for testing. It is also available at people.d.o and contains patches for 26 CVEs. As with the LTS version I would be very glad if others could have a look at it.
I also started to work on CVEs of krb5.
As like in LTS, I also did some days of frontdesk duties.

Thanks to all the people that tested the meep and mpb packages and filed bugs. I am now trying to clean up the mess :-). At least my packages no longer depend on guile-2.0!
I didn’t have to sponsor package for Nicolas Mora anymore. He finally became a DM and I gave him upload rights for his packages. So now he can take care of his stuff on his own :-).
The next sponsee is Tommi Höynälänmaa. Initially he wanted to have theme-d and theme-d-gnome in Debian. Due to dependencies being orphaned and RC buggy he now has to take care of …
He is really doing a nice job.
The Debian Med Advent Calendar was again really successful this year. There was no new record, but with 81, a fair number of bugs could have been closed.
