Debian LTS
January was the ninth month I contributed to Debian LTS under the Freexian umbrella. In total I spent 13 hours working on:
LTS Frontdesk duties like the triaging of 34 CVEs. That was about twice as much CVEs coming as during December's frontdesk work.
I looked into what needs to be done DLA wise when we move from Squeeze to Wheezy. For that I added a script do find discrepancies between Squeeze LTS and Wheezy.
I uploaded giflib to squeeze-lts(DLA-389-1), wheezy(#812363) and jessie(#812362) proposed updates.
I forward ported the fix for CVE-2015-5291 for polarssl to Wheezy adding autopkgtests on the way (#812420) (forward port to Jessie happend in February)
I forward ported a patch for freetype fixing CVE-2014-9674 to wheezy(DSA-3461-1) - Jessie being not affected.
Finally I added some basic autopkgtests to icu (#813338).
There was no progress on using the same nss in all suites. This will continue in February as does the Squeeze-lts Wheezy forward porting.
Other Debian stuff
- I uploaded libvirt 1.3.1~rc1 and 1.3.1~rc2 to experimental and 1.3.1 final to unstable.
