My Debian Activities in March 2020

FTP master

This month I accepted 156 packages and rejected 26. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 203.

Debian LTS

This was my sixty ninth 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. During that time I did LTS uploads of:

• [DLA 2156-1] e2fsprogs security update for one CVE
• [DLA 2157-1] weechat security update for three CVEs
• [DLA 2160-1] php5 security update for two CVEs
• [DLA 2164-1] gst-plugins-bad0.10 security update for four CVEs
• [DLA 2165-1] apng2gif security update for one CVE

Also my work on graphicsmagic was accepted which resulted in:

• [DSA 4640-1] graphicsmagick security update in Buster and Strech for 16 CVEs

Further I sent debdiffs of weechat/stretch, weechat/buster, e2fsprogs/stretch to the corresponding maintainers but got no feedback yet.

As there have been lots of no-dsa-CVEs accumulated for wireshark, I started to work on them but could not upload yet.

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

Debian ELTS

This month was the twenty first ELTS month.

During my really allocated time I uploaded:

• ELA-218-1 for e2fsprogs
• ELA-220-1 for php5
• ELA-221-1 for nss

I also did some days of frontdesk duties.

Other stuff

Unfortunately this month again strange things happened outside Debian and the discussions within Debian did not stop. Nonetheless I got some stuff done.

I improved packaging of …

• … duktape
• … gengetopt and also fixed an FTBFS
• … pollen

I sponsored uploads of …

• … ocf-spec-core
• … theme-d-gnome

Sorry to all people who also requested sponsoring, but sometimes things happen and your upload might be delayed.

I uploaded new upstream versions of …

• … libctl
• … libosmocore
• … mpb
• … pyicloud
• … pywws
