My Debian Activities in May 2022

FTP master

This month I accepted 288 and rejected 45 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 290.

Debian LTS

This was my ninety-fifth 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 40h. During that time I did LTS and normal security uploads of:

  • [DLA 3029-1] cups security update for one embargoed CVE
  • [DLA 3028-1] atftp security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 3030-1] zipios++ security update for one CVE
  • [DSA-5149-1] cups security update in Buster and Bullseye
  • [#1008577] bullseye-pu: golang-github-russellhaering-goxmldsig/1.1.0-1+deb11u1 debdiff was approved and package uploaded
  • [#1009077] bullseye-pu: minidlna/1.3.0+dfsg-2+deb11u1 debdiff was approved and package uploaded
  • [#1009250] bullseye-pu: fribidi/1.0.8-2+deb11u1 debdiff was approved and package uploaded

Further I continued working on libvirt and started to work on blender and ncurses.

I also continued to work on security support for golang packages.

Last but not least I did some days of frontdesk duties and took care of issues on security-master.

Debian ELTS

This month was the forty-seventh ELTS month.

During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • ELS-618-1 for openldap

I also moved/refactored the current ELTS documentation to a new repository.

Further I started to work on blender and ncurses in ELTS as well as in LTS.

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

Debian Printing

This month I uploaded new upstream versions or improved packaging of:

The reason for the new upstream version of ipp-usb was a strange bug. Some HP printers claim to have fax support but fail to respond to corresponding IPP queries. I understand that nowadays sending a fax is no longer a main theme for quality assurance. But if one tries to advertise as much features as possible, all these features should basically work and not prevent the things a printer should normally do.

The reason for the new upstream version of cups was a security issue. You now should have the latest version of cups installed (there have been updates in other Debian releases as well).

Debian Astro

This month I uploaded new upstream versions or improved packaging of:

Other stuff

This month I uploaded new packages:

My Debian Activities in September 2021

FTP master

This month I accepted 224 and rejected 47 packages. This is almost thrice the rejects of last month. Please, be more careful and check your package twice before uploading. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 233.

Debian LTS

This was my eighty-seventh 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 24.75h. During that time I did LTS and normal security uploads of:

  • [DLA 2755-1] btrbk security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 2762-1] grilo security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 2766-1] openssl security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 2774-1] openssl1.0 security update for one CVE
  • [DLA 2773-1] curl security update for two CVEs

I also started to work on exiv2 and faad2.

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

Debian ELTS

This month was the thirty-ninth ELTS month.

Unfortunately during my allocated time I could not process any upload. I worked on openssl, curl and squashfs-tools but for one reason or another the prepared packages didn’t pass all tests. In order to avoid regressions, I postponed the uploads (meanwhile an ELA for curl was published …).

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

Other stuff

On my neverending golang challenge I again uploaded some packages either for NEW or as source upload.

As Odyx took a break from all Debian activities, I volunteered to take care of the printing packages. Please be merciful when somethings breaks after I did an upload. My first printing upload was hplip

My Debian Activities in May 2021

FTP master

This month I accepted 85 and rejected 6 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was only 88. Yeah, Debian is frozen but hopefully will unfreeze soon.

Debian LTS

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

  • [DLA 2665-1] ring security update one CVE
  • [DLA 2669-1] libxml2 security update one CVE
  • the fix for tnef/CVE-2019-18849 had been approved and I could do the PU-upload

I also made some progress with gpac and struggle with dozens of issues here.

Last but not least I did some days of frontdesk duties, which for whatever reason was rather time-consuming this month.

Debian ELTS

This month was the thirty-fifth ELTS month.

During my allocated time I uploaded:

  • ELA-420-1 for exim4
  • ELA-435-1 for python2.7

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.

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

Problem with go test

Notice to my future self: in case your packages have problems with go test and things like:

> github.com/go-xorm/core
>    dh_auto_test -O--buildsystem=golang
> 	cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu && go test -vet=off -v -p 4 github.com/go-xorm/core
> flag provided but not defined: -test.testlogfile

appear, please have a look at this issue on github.

Something broke in golang 1.13 and can be fixed by adding:

var _ = func() bool {
       testing.Init()
       return true
}()

to your tests.
