(E)LTS and Debian report for December 2022
Hi,
I am funded by Freexian SARL and thus reporting about my work in
December 2022.
LTS
===
* I issued DLA-3223-1 for giflib.
* I reviewed the joblib DLA and reopened it.
* I issued DLA-3226-1 for cgal.
* I issued DLA-3233-1 for leptonlib.
* I started working on exiv2, but ran out of time.
* I started working on heimdal. My January report will contain more
information about this and why I skip all the details.
ELTS
====
* I issued ELA-74[7]-1 for libraw (mostly done in November).
* I issued ELA-751-1 for giflib.
* I issued ELA-753-1 for krb5.
* I triaged cgal, which turned out to be fixed.
* I stared work on leptonlib. A number of issues were fixed upstream
by hiding them behind a developer mode and having them disabled by
default. A discussion on how to deal with this is ongoing given the
risk of regressions vs the risk of exploitation. Your input on this
question is welcome. For reference, the relevant change is
https://github.com/DanBloomberg/leptonica/commit/24cca39cbeafd7943fb6ec723c9c1f525c24eb9f
* I started working on exiv2, but ran out of time.
* I started working on heimdal. My January report will contain more
information about this and why I skip all the details.
Debian
======
The majority of my rebootstrap was dropping applied patches and fixing
up after regressions. I filed 14 patches fixing cross build failures. I
sent a patch for gcc to make __has_include_next work. I issued a stable
update for leptonlib. I uploaded a new tool for creating and running
ephemeral virtual machines based on Debian called debvm to experimental.
Check https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/debvm for details.
