Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, December 2019

January 23, 2020 by Raphaël Hertzog

A Debian LTS logo Like each month, here comes a report about the work of paid contributors to Debian LTS.

  • Abhijith PA did 10.0h (out of 10h assigned).
  • Adrian Bunk did 4.5h (out of 16.5h assigned), thus carrying over 12h to January.

Evolution of the situation

Though December was as quiet as to be expected due to the holiday season, the usual amount of security updates were still released by our contributors.
We currently have 59 LTS sponsors each month sponsoring 219h. Still, as always we are welcoming new LTS sponsors!

The security tracker currently lists 34 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 33 packages needing an update.
