My Work on Debian LTS/ELTS (March 2019)

In March 2019, I have worked on the Debian LTS project for 14 hours (of 10 hours planned plus 4 hours pulled over from February) and on the Debian ELTS project for another 2 hours (of originally planned 6 hours) as a paid contributor.

LTS Work

  • CVE triaging (ntp, glib2.0, libjpeg-turbo, cron, otrs2, poppler)
  • Sponsor upload to jessie-security (aka LTS): cron (DLA 1723-1 [1])
  • Upload to jessie-security (aka LTS): openssh (DLA 1728-1 [2])
  • Upload to jessie-security (aka LTS): libssh2 (DLA 1730-1 [3])
  • Upload to jessie-security (aka LTS): libav (DLA 1740-1 [4])

ELTS Work

  • Create .debdiff for cron src:pkg targetting wheezy (but I failed to build it due to two issues with Debian 10 as build machine)
  • Discover and document that kernel boot parameter "vsyscall=emulate" is required for building wheezy packages on Debian 10. (See #844350 and #845942 for details).
  • Bug hunt sbuild bug #926161 in sbuild 0.78.1-1 [5]
