In September 2025 I've worked on the below listed packages for Freexian LTS/ELTS [1]. This is my seventh month and still having problems finding time to use up my allocated hours. Many thanks to Freexian and our sponsors [2] for providing this opportunity! LTS ==== I looked into civetweb which was listed in dla-needed. The listed problem was still unresolved in all suites, including unstable/sid. I started by reproducing the issue as described against sid. I created a salsa merge-request (MR) [3] which fixed an existing FTBFS as well as backports the upstream fix. I built the updated package and confirmed that the problem was no longer possible to reproduce. I then started looking into backporting the solution to bullseye, but noticed the code was different and figured out which commit introduced the problem -- which was not yet included in the upstream version of civetweb that was part of bullseye. Note was added about unaffected[3]. Confirmed with fellow LTS collegues that removing from dla-needed was the correct course of actions and did that[4]. End result: No DLA. ELTS ==== No work this month. I also attended the team meeting.
