Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.
Individual reports
In January, about 204.5 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
- Abhijith PA did 12 hours (out of 12 hours allocated).
- Antoine Beaupré did 9 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated, thus keeping 11.5h extra hours for February).
- Ben Hutchings did 24 hours (out of 20 hours allocated plus 5 extra hours from December, thus keeping one extra hour for February).
- Brian May did 10 hours (out of 10 hours allocated).
- Chris Lamb did 18 hours (out of 18 hours allocated).
- Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 42.5 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated + 25.25 extra hours, thus keeping 3.25 extra hours for February).
- Hugo Lefeuvre did 20 hours (out of 20 hours allocated).
- Lucas Kanashiro did 5 hours (out of 4 hours allocated plus one extra hour from December).
- Markus Koschany did 20.5 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated).
- Mike Gabriel did 10 hours (out of 10 hours allocated).
- Ola Lundqvist did 4.5 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 6.5 extra hours, thus keeping 8 extra hours for February, as he also gave 2h back to the pool).
- Roberto C. Sanchez did 10.75 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated, thus keeping 9.75 extra hours for February).
- Thorsten Alteholz did 20.5 hours (out of 20.5 hours allocated).
Evolution of the situation
In January we again managed to dispatch all available hours (well, except one) to contributors. We also still had one new contributor in training, though starting in February Adrian Bunk has become a regular contributor. But: we will lose another contributor in March, so we are still very much looking for new contributors. Please contact Holger if you are interested to become a paid LTS contributor.
The security tracker currently lists 40 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 42 packages needing an update.
