Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, August 2017

September 17, 2017 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 August, about 189 work hours have been dispatched among 12 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 16h.
  • Ben Hutchings did 10 hours (out of 15h allocated + 1 extra hour, thus keeping 6 extra hour for September).
  • Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 20.5 hours (out of 20.25 hours allocated + 13 hours remaining, thus keeping 12.75 hours for September).
  • Guido Günther did 10 hours.
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did 14h (out of 2h allocated + 12 extra hours).
  • Lucas Kanashiro did 20.25 hours.
  • Markus Koschany did 20.25 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 9h (out of 14h allocated + 16 extra hours, he gave back 14 hours, thus keeping 7 extra hours for September).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 12 hours.
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 27.25 hours (out of 20.25 hours allocated + 16 hours remaining, thus keeping 9 extra hours for September).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 20.25 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours is the same as last month.

The security tracker currently lists 59 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 60. The number of packages with open issues decreased slightly compared to last month but we’re not yet back to the usual situation. The number of CVE to fix per package tends to increase due to the increased usage of fuzzers.

Freexian’s report about Debian Long Term Support, July 2017

August 18, 2017 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 July, about 181 work hours have been dispatched among 11 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 20h (out of 16h allocated + 4 extra hours).
  • Ben Hutchings did 14 hours (out of 15h allocated, thus keeping 1 extra hour for August).
  • Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 18.5 hours (out of 23.5 hours allocated + 8 hours remaining, thus keeping 13 hours for August).
  • Guido Günther did 10 hours.
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did nothing due to personal problems (out of 2h allocated + 10 extra hours, thus keeping 12 extra hours for August).
  • Markus Koschany did 23.5 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did not do anything (out of 14h allocated + 2 extra hours, thus keeping 16 hours for August).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 7 hours (out of 12 hours allocated but he gave back his remaining hours).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 19.5 hours (out of 23.5 hours allocated + 12 hours remaining, thus keeping 16 extra hours for August).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 23.5 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours increased slightly with two new sponsors: Leibniz Rechenzentrum (silver sponsor) and Catalyst IT Ltd (bronze sponsor).

The security tracker currently lists 74 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 64. The number of packages with open issues increased of almost 50% compared to last month. Hopefully this backlog will get cleared up when the unused hours will actually be done. In any case, this evolution is worth watching.
