My Debian Activities in February 2024

FTP master

This month I accepted 242 and rejected 42 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 251.

This was just a short month and the weather outside was not really motivating. I hope it will be better in March.

Debian LTS

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

During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • [DLA 3739-1] libjwt security update for one CVE to fix some ‘constant-time-for-execution-issue
  • [libjwt] upload to unstable
  • [#1064550] Bullseye PU bug for libjwt
  • [#1064551] Bookworm PU bug for libjwt
  • [#1064551] Bookworm PU bug for libjwt; upload after approval
  • [DLA 3741-1] engrampa security update for one CVE to fix a path traversal issue with CPIO archives
  • [#1060186] Bookworm PU-bug for libde265 was flagged for acceptance
  • [#1056935] Bullseye PU-bug for libde265 was flagged for acceptance

I also started to work on qtbase-opensource-src (an update is needed for ELTS, so an LTS update seems to be appropriate as well, especially as there are postponed CVE).

Debian ELTS

This month was the sixty-seventth ELTS month. During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • [ELA-1047-1]bind9 security update for one CVE to fix an stack exhaustion issue in Jessie and Stretch

The upload of bind9 was a bit exciting, but all occuring issues with the new upload workflow could be quickly fixed by Helmut and the packages finally reached their destination. I wonder why it is always me who stumbles upon special cases? This month I also worked on the Jessie and Stretch updates for exim4. I also started to work on an update for qtbase-opensource-src in Stretch (and LTS and other releases as well).

Debian Printing

This month I uploaded new upstream versions of:

Debian Matomo

I started a new team debian-matomo-maintainers. Within this team all matomo related packages should be handled. PHP PEAR or PECL packages shall be still maintained in their corresponding teams.
