My Debian Activities in July 2019

FTP master

After the release of Buster I could start with real work in NEW again. Even the temperature could not hinder me to reject something. So this month I accepted 279 packages and rejected 15. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 308.

Debian LTS

This was my sixty first 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 18.5h. During that time I did LTS uploads of:

  • [DLA 1849-1] zeromq3 security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 1833-2] bzip2 regression update for one patch
  • [DLA 1856-1] patch security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 1859-1] bind9 security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 1864-1] patch security update for one CVE

I am glad that I could finish the bind9 upload this month.
I also started to work on ruby-mini-magick and python2.7. Unfortunatley when building both packages (even without new patches), the test suite fails. So I first have to fix that as well.

Last but not least I did ten days of frontdesk duties. This was more than a week as everybody was at DebConf and I seemed to be the only one at home …

Debian ELTS

This month was the fourteenth ELTS month.

During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • ELA-132-2 of bzip2 for an upstream regression
  • ELA-144-1 of patch for one CVE
  • ELA-147-1 of patch for one CVE
  • ELA-148-1 of bind9 for one CVE

I also did some days of frontdesk duties.

Other stuff

This month I reuploaded some go packages, that would not migrate due to being binary uploads.

I also filed rm bugs to remove all alljoyn packages. Upstream is dead, no one is using this software anymore and bugs won’t be fixed.
