Debian Fun in February 2017
2nd March 2017
Debian LTS
February marked the 22nd month I contributed to Debian LTS under the Freexian umbrella. I had 8 hours allocated which I used by:
- the 2nd half of a LTS frontdesk week
- an update to lts-cve-triage.py so we don't ignore undetermined issues anymore
- testing the bind9 update prepared by Thorsten Alteholz
- testing of apache2 packages prepared by Jonas Meurer and Antoine Beaupré
- triaging of QEMU CVEs and fixing most if them resulting in DLA-842-1
Other Debian stuff
- libvirt and gtk-vnc uploads to fix CVEs in unstable and stretch
- A git-buildpackage upload to unstable to unbreak importing large histories with import-dsc
- Some CSS improvements for git-buildpackage to (hopefully) make the manual easier to read.
Some other Free Software activities
Nothing exciting, just some minor fixes at several places:
- Some minor improvements to libplanfahr's trip-query to make it more useful
- Made the logging more useful in ldapsp (a realm smart proxy for the Foreman)
- Some bug fixes for network-manager-iodine (a iodine plugin for NetworkManager)
- Flake8 cleanups in ansible_foreman_module (a ansible module to create hosts in the Foreman)
- Added a unit file to simplec (A service to provide IPs of libvirt based VMs via DNS)
- Made Gource use https to fetch it's submodules
- A PR for the Foreman to not rebuild already correct DNS entries (which needs a respin)
- Several fixes for ansible_spec (some of them pending review)
