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

November 14, 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 October, about 175 work hours have been dispatched among 14 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 13 hours.
  • Balint Reczey did 7 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 4.5 remaining, the extra hours have been given back).
  • Ben Hutchings did 13.75 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 0.75 remaining).
  • Brian May did 13 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 13 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 13 hours.
  • Guido Günther did 9 hours (out of 8h allocated + 1h remaining).
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did 12 hours.
  • Jonas Meurer did 10.25 hours (out of 12 hours allocated, thus keeping 1.75 extra hours for November).
  • Markus Koschany did 13 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 13.5 hours (out of 13 hours assigned + 1.25 remaining, thus keeping 0.75 extra hours).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 13 hours.
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 14.75 hours (out of 13h allocated + 1.75h remaining).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 13 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours did not change this month. We still need a couple of supplementary sponsors to reach our objective of funding the equivalent of a full time position.

The security tracker currently lists 34 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 29. The situation improved slightly compared to last month.
