Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, February 2017

March 16, 2017 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 February, about 154 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 3 hours (out of 13h allocated, thus keeping 10 extra hours for March).
  • Balint Reczey did 13 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 1.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 1.25 hours for March).
  • Ben Hutchings did 19 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 15.25 hours remaining, he gave back the remaining hours to the pool).
  • Chris Lamb did 13 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 12.5 hours (out of 13 hours allocated, thus keeping 0.5 hour for March).
  • Guido Günther did 8 hours.
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did nothing and gave back his 13 hours to the pool.
  • Jonas Meurer did 14.75 hours (out of 5 hours allocated + 9.75 hours remaining).
  • Markus Koschany did 13 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 4 hours (out of 13h allocated, thus keeping 9 hours for March).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 3.75 hours (out of 10 hours allocated, thus keeping 6.25 hours for March).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 5.5 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 0.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 7.75 hours for March).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 13 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours increased slightly thanks to Bearstech and LiHAS joining us.

The security tracker currently lists 45 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 39. The number of open issues continued its slight increase, this time it could be explained by the fact that many contributors did not spend all the hours allocated (for various reasons). There’s nothing worrisome at this point.
