My Debian Activities in September 2021

FTP master

This month I accepted 224 and rejected 47 packages. This is almost thrice the rejects of last month. Please, be more careful and check your package twice before uploading. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 233.

Debian LTS

This was my eighty-seventh 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 24.75h. During that time I did LTS and normal security uploads of:

• [DLA 2755-1] btrbk security update for one CVE
• [DLA 2762-1] grilo security update for one CVE
• [DLA 2766-1] openssl security update for one CVE
• [DLA 2774-1] openssl1.0 security update for one CVE
• [DLA 2773-1] curl security update for two CVEs

I also started to work on exiv2 and faad2.

Last but not least I did some days of frontdesk duties.

Debian ELTS

This month was the thirty-ninth ELTS month.

Unfortunately during my allocated time I could not process any upload. I worked on openssl, curl and squashfs-tools but for one reason or another the prepared packages didn’t pass all tests. In order to avoid regressions, I postponed the uploads (meanwhile an ELA for curl was published …).

Last but not least I did some days of frontdesk duties.

Other stuff

On my neverending golang challenge I again uploaded some packages either for NEW or as source upload.

As Odyx took a break from all Debian activities, I volunteered to take care of the printing packages. Please be merciful when somethings breaks after I did an upload. My first printing upload was hplip
