My Debian Activities in July 2018

FTP master

This month was dominated by warm weather and I spent more time in a swimming pool than in the NEW queue. So I only accepted 149 packages and rejected 5 uploads. The overall number of packages that got accepted this month was 380.

Debian LTS

This was my forty 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 30.00h. During that time I did LTS uploads of:

    [DLA 1428-1] 389-ds-base security update for 5 CVEs
    [DLA 1430-1] taglib security update for one CVE
    [DLA 1433-1] openjpeg2 security update for two CVEs
    [DLA 1437-1] slurm-llnl security update for two CVEs
    [DLA 1438-1] opencv security update for 17 CVEs
    [DLA 1439-1] resiprocate security update for two CVEs
    [DLA 1444-1] vim-syntastic security update for one CVE
    [DLA 1451-1] wireshark security update for 7 CVEs

Further I started to work on libgit and fuse. Last but not least I did some days of frontdesk duties.

Debian ELTS

This month was the second ELTS month.

During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • ELA-23-1 for wireshark
  • ELA-24-1 for fuse

I also tried to work on qemu but had to confess that those CVEs are far beyond my capabilities. Luckily qemu is no longer on the list of supported packages for ELTS. As there seemed to be some scheduling difficulties I stepped in and did 1.5 weeks of frontdesk duties.

Other stuff

This month I uploaded new packages of

  • … pywws, a software to obtain data from some wheather stations
  • … osmo-msc, a software from Osmocom

Further I continued to sponsor some glewlwyd packages for Nicolas Mora.

I also uploaded a new upstream version of …

I improved packaging of …

and fixed some bugs in …

The DOPOM (Debian Orphaned Package Of the Month) of this month has been sockstat. As there was a BUG about IPv6 support and upstream doesn’t seem to be active anymore, I revived it on github.
