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

May 16, 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 April, about 190 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 19.5 hours (out of 16h allocated + 5.5 remaining hours, thus keeping 2 extra hours for May).
  • Ben Hutchings did 12 hours (out of 15h allocated, thus keeping 3 extra hours for May).
  • Brian May did 10 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 18 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 17.5 hours (out of 16 hours allocated + 3.5 hours remaining, thus keeping 2 hours for May).
  • Guido Günther did 12 hours (out of 8 hours allocated + 4 hours remaining).
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did 15.5 hours (out of 6 hours allocated + 9.5 hours remaining).
  • Jonas Meurer did nothing (out of 4 hours allocated + 3.5 hours remaining, thus keeping 7.5 hours for May).
  • Markus Koschany did 23.75 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 14 hours (out of 20h allocated, thus keeping 6 extra hours for May).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 11.25 hours (out of 10 hours allocated + 1.25 hours remaining).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 16.5 hours (out of 20 hours allocated + 1 hour remaining, thus keeping 4.5 extra hours for May).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 23.75 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours decreased slightly and we’re now again a little behind our objective.

The security tracker currently lists 54 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 37. The number of open issues is comparable to last month.

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

April 13, 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 March, about 190 work hours have been dispatched among 14 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 19 hours (out of 14.75h allocated + 10 remaining hours, thus keeping 5.75 extra hours for April).
  • Balint Reczey did nothing (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 2.5 hours remaining) and gave back all his unused hours. He took on a new job and will stop his work as LTS paid contributor.
  • Ben Hutchings did 14.75 hours.
  • Brian May did 10 hours.
  • Chris Lamb did 14.75 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 11.75 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 0.5 hours remaining, thus keeping 3.5 hours for April).
  • Guido Günther did 4 hours (out of 8 hours allocated, thus keeping 4 extra hours for April).
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did 4 hours (out of 13.5 hours allocated, thus keeping 9.5 extra hours for April).
  • Jonas Meurer did 11.25 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated, thus keeping 3.5 extra hours for April).
  • Markus Koschany did 14.75 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 23.75 hours (out of 14.75h allocated + 9 hours remaining).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 15 hours (out of 10 hours allocated + 6.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 1.25 hours for April).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 21.5 hours (out of 14.75 hours allocated + 7.75 hours remaining, thus keeping 1 extra hour for April).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 14.75 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours has been unchanged but will likely decrease slightly next month as one sponsor will not renew his support (because they have switched to CentOS).

The security tracker currently lists 52 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 40. The number of open issues continued its slight increase… not worrisome yet but we need to keep an eye on this situation.

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

March 16, 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 February, about 154 work hours have been dispatched among 13 paid contributors. Their reports are available:

  • Antoine Beaupré did 3 hours (out of 13h allocated, thus keeping 10 extra hours for March).
  • Balint Reczey did 13 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 1.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 1.25 hours for March).
  • Ben Hutchings did 19 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 15.25 hours remaining, he gave back the remaining hours to the pool).
  • Chris Lamb did 13 hours.
  • Emilio Pozuelo Monfort did 12.5 hours (out of 13 hours allocated, thus keeping 0.5 hour for March).
  • Guido Günther did 8 hours.
  • Hugo Lefeuvre did nothing and gave back his 13 hours to the pool.
  • Jonas Meurer did 14.75 hours (out of 5 hours allocated + 9.75 hours remaining).
  • Markus Koschany did 13 hours.
  • Ola Lundqvist did 4 hours (out of 13h allocated, thus keeping 9 hours for March).
  • Raphaël Hertzog did 3.75 hours (out of 10 hours allocated, thus keeping 6.25 hours for March).
  • Roberto C. Sanchez did 5.5 hours (out of 13 hours allocated + 0.25 hours remaining, thus keeping 7.75 hours for March).
  • Thorsten Alteholz did 13 hours.

Evolution of the situation

The number of sponsored hours increased slightly thanks to Bearstech and LiHAS joining us.

The security tracker currently lists 45 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 39. The number of open issues continued its slight increase, this time it could be explained by the fact that many contributors did not spend all the hours allocated (for various reasons). There’s nothing worrisome at this point.
