My Debian Activities in July 2019

FTP master

After the release of Buster I could start with real work in NEW again. Even the temperature could not hinder me to reject something. So this month I accepted 279 packages and rejected 15. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 308.

Debian LTS

This was my sixty first 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 18.5h. During that time I did LTS uploads of:

  • [DLA 1849-1] zeromq3 security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 1833-2] bzip2 regression update for one patch
  • [DLA 1856-1] patch security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 1859-1] bind9 security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 1864-1] patch security update for one CVE

I am glad that I could finish the bind9 upload this month.
I also started to work on ruby-mini-magick and python2.7. Unfortunatley when building both packages (even without new patches), the test suite fails. So I first have to fix that as well.

Last but not least I did ten days of frontdesk duties. This was more than a week as everybody was at DebConf and I seemed to be the only one at home …

Debian ELTS

This month was the fourteenth ELTS month.

During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • ELA-132-2 of bzip2 for an upstream regression
  • ELA-144-1 of patch for one CVE
  • ELA-147-1 of patch for one CVE
  • ELA-148-1 of bind9 for one CVE

I also did some days of frontdesk duties.

Other stuff

This month I reuploaded some go packages, that would not migrate due to being binary uploads.

I also filed rm bugs to remove all alljoyn packages. Upstream is dead, no one is using this software anymore and bugs won’t be fixed.

What to do next?

After Buster has been released now, I am thinking about what to do next for Bullseye. In order to build up some mildly pressure, I publish my goals here. Some of them might be obvious but nevertheless I will mention them for the sake of completeness:

  1. get rid of all Lintian errors in my packages
  2. get rid of all Lintian warnings in my packages
  3. get rid of all VCS problems with my packages
  4. get rid of all watch file problems with my packages
  5. make my packages reproducible build
  6. make my packages available on all architectures
  7. add tests to my packages
  8. update my packages to the newest version
  9. create Debian Pure Blends in all appropriate groups where I am a member of
  10. make my packages availabe in backports as well
  11. add grafana again to Debian
  12. add all software from the Osmocom project to Debian
  13. make home automation available in Debian
  14. make a voice assistant available in Debian
  15. taking care of no-dsa
  16. reducing NEW to <10
