My Debian Activities in October 2024

FTP master

This month I accepted 398 and rejected 22 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 441.

In case your RM bug is not closed within a month, you can assume that either the conversion of the subject of the bug email to the corresponding dak command did not work or you still need to take care of reverse dependencies. The dak command related to your removal bug can be found here.

Unfortunately the bahavior of some project members caused a decline of motivation of team members to work on these bugs. When I look at these bugs, I just copy and paste the above mentioned dak commands. If they don’t work, I don’t have the time to debug what is going wrong. So please read the docs and take care of it yourself. Please also keep in mind that you need to close the bug or set a moreinfo tag if you don’t want anybody to act on your removal bug.

Last but not least I did a week of FD this month and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.
