Thorsten Alteholz ☛ Thorsten Alteholz: My Debian Activities in September 2024
This month I accepted 441 and rejected 29 packages. The overall number of packages that got accepted was 448.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, but this month I really accepted the same number of packages as last month.
[...]
Despite the announcement the package libppd in Debian is not affected by the CVEs related to CUPS. By pure chance there is an unrelated package with the same name in Debian. I also answered some question about the CUPS related uploads. Due to the CUPS issues, I postponed my work on other packages to October.
Last but not least I did a week of FD this month and attended the monthly LTS/ELTS meeting.
