Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, June 2016

July 16, 2016 by Raphaël Hertzog

A Debian LTS logoLike each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.

Individual reports

In June, 158.25 work hours have been dispatched among 11 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré has been allocated 4 hours but did not publish his report yet.
  • Balint Reczey did 3 hours (out of 16 hours allocated, thus keeping 13 extra hours for July).
  • Ben Hutchings did 19 hours (out of 15 hours allocated + 5 remaining, keeping 1 extra hour for July).
  • Brian May did 15 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 16 hours.
  • Guido Günther did 8 hours.
  • Markus Koschany did 19.75 hours (out of 18.75 hours allocated + 1 remaining).
  • Ola Lundqvist did 10 hours.
  • Santiago Ruano Rincón did 15.5 hours (out of 18.75h allocated + 8 remaining, thus keeping 11.25 extra hours for July).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 18.75 hours.

DebConf 16 Presentation

If you want to know more about how the LTS project is organized, you can watch the presentation I gave during DebConf 16 in Cape Town.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours increased a little bit at 135 hours per month thanks to 3 new sponsors (Laboratoire LEGI – UMR 5519 / CNRS, Quarantainenet BV, GNI MEDIA). Our funding goal is getting closer but it’s not there yet.

The security tracker currently lists 40 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file lists 38 packages awaiting an update.
