Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, February 2018

March 16, 2018 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 196 work hours have been dispatched among 12 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Abhijith PA did 8 hours.
  • Antoine Beaupré did 7.25h (out of 4h allocated + 3.25h remaining).
  • Ben Hutchings did 13 hours (out of 15h allocated, thus keeping 2 extra hours for March).
  • Brian May did 10 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 2 hours only due to personal issues (out of 23.75 hours allocated + 10.5 hours remaining, he gave back the remaining 32.25 hours).
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did 1.5 hours (out of 23.75 hours allocated, thus keeping 22.25 extra hours for March).
  • Markus Koschany did 23.75 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 9 hours (out of 14 hours allocated, thus keeping 5 extra hours for March).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 27.5 hours (out of 23.75 hours allocated + 3.75 hours remaining).
  • Santiago Ruano Rincón did 6 hours (out of 8 hours allocated, thus keeping 2 extra hours for March).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 23.75 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours did not change but a new platinum sponsor is about to join our project.

The security tracker currently lists 60 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 33. The number of open issues increased significantly and we seem to be behind in terms of CVE triaging.
