Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, April 2021

May 28, 2021 by Raphaël Hertzog

A Debian LTS logo

Like each month, have a look at the work funded by Freexian’s Debian LTS offering.

Debian project funding

In April, we put aside 5775 EUR to fund Debian projects. There was no proposals for new projects received, thus we’re looking forward to receive more projects from various Debian teams! Please do not hesitate to submit a proposal, if there is a project that could benefit from the funding!

Debian LTS contributors

In April, 11 contributors have been paid to work on Debian LTS, their reports are available:

  • Abhijith PA did 14.0h (out of 14h assigned and 12h from March), thus carrying over 12h to May.
  • Anton Gladky did 12h (out of 12h assigned).
  • Ben Hutchings did 14h (out of 16h assigned and 2.5h from March), thus carrying over 4.5h to May.
  • Chris Lamb did 18h (out of 18h assigned).
  • Holger Levsen‘s work was coordinating/managing the LTS team, he did 10h (out of 12h assigned), and gave 2h back to the pool.
  • Markus Koschany did 15.0h (out of 30h assigned), thus carrying over 15h to May.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 7.5h (out of 12h assigned), thus carrying over 4.5h to May.
  • Roberto C. Sánchez did 9.5h (out of 32h assigned and 4.5h from March), thus carrying over 27h to May.
  • Sylvain Beucler did 30h (out of 30h assigned).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 30h (out of 30h assigned).
  • Utkarsh Gupta did 60h (out of 60h assigned).

Evolution of the situation

In April we released 33 DLAs and held a LTS team meeting using video conferencing.

The security tracker currently lists 53 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file has 26 packages needing an update.

We are please to welcome VyOS as a new gold sponsor!
