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

October 20, 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 August, about 170 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 7h (out of 15.75h allocated, thus keeping 8.75h for October).
  • Ben Hutchings did 12 hours (out of 15h allocated + 6 extra hours, thus keeping 9 extra hours for October).
  • Brian May did 10 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 15.75 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 27 hours (out of 15.75 hours allocated + 12.75 hours remaining, thus keeping 1.5 hours for October).
  • Guido Günther did 10 hours (out of 11h allocated, thus keeping one hour for October).
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did 15h.
  • Lucas Kanashiro did 5 hours.
  • Markus Koschany did 15.75 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 13.5h (out of 7h allocated + 7 extra hours, thus keeping 0.5 extra hours for October).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 10.5 hours (out of 12h allocated, thus keeping 1.5 hours for October).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 10 hours (out of 15.75 hours allocated + 9 hours remaining, thus keeping 14.75 extra hours for October).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 15.75 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours is the same as last month. But we have a new sponsor in the pipe.

The security tracker currently lists 52 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 49. The number of packages with open issues decreased slightly compared to last month but we’re not yet back to the usual situation.
