Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, August 2020

September 15, 2020 by Raphaël Hertzog

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

Individual reports

In August, 237.25 work hours have been dispatched among 14 paid contributors. Their reports are available:
  • Abhijith PA did 10.0h (out of 10h assigned).
  • Adrian Bunk did 31h (out of 21.75h assigned and 9.25h from July).
  • Ben Hutchings did 6.25h (out of 16h assigned), thus carrying over 9.75h to September.
  • Brian May did 10h (out of 10h assigned).
  • Chris Lamb did 18h (out of 18h assigned).
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 21.75h (out of 21.75h assigned).
  • Holger Levsen did 7h coordinating/managing the LTS team.
  • Markus Koschany did 20h (out of 21.75h assigned and 10.25h from July), thus carrying over 12h to September.
  • Mike Gabriel did 16.0h (out of 8h assigned and 8h from July).
  • Ola Lundqvist did 6.9h (out of 8h assigned and 16h from July), and gave back 5.1h, thus carrying over 12h to September.
  • Roberto C. Sánchez did 21.75h (out of 21.75h assigned).
  • Sylvain Beucler did 21.75h (out of 21.75h assigned).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 21.75h (out of 21.75h assigned).
  • Utkarsh Gupta did 32.75h (out of 21.75h assigned and anticipating 11h from September).

Evolution of the situation

August was a regular LTS month once again, even though it was only our 2nd month with Stretch LTS.
At the end of August some of us participated in DebConf 20 online where we held our monthly team meeting. A video is available.
As of now this video is also the only public resource about the LTS survey we held in July, though a written summary is expected to be released soon.

The security tracker currently lists 56 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 55 packages needing an update.
