In July 2026 I've worked on the below listed packages for Freexian (E)LTS [1]. This is my seventeenth month involved with the (E)LTS efforts.
Many thanks to Freexian and our sponsors [2] for providing this opportunity! This month my report is out a few days early as I will be offline for the remainder of the month. The theme for this month is vacation which is visible in the amount of work that I have done. # Packages jq == Backported fixes for new CVEs. Prepared update for bullseye and bookworm, which resulted in [DLA-4661-1] and [DLA-4662-1]. u-boot ====== Received go-ahead from Stable Release Managers (SRM) and proceeded to upload my stable-proposed-update of u-boot, which was accepted into the archive. This make trixie catch up with fixes that has already gone into sid/testing/bookworm/bullseye (atleast once next point release of stable is out). # Other Discussed viability of continued support for libsoup2.4. I also did some preliminary work on jq/buster (ELTS), but had a bit or mid-air collision with jochensp (since I failed to properly claim and did not have time finish my work in a timely fashion, totally my fault). As jochensp was interested in comparing results, I handed over my preliminary work. While on this topic, I'm also struggling with being able to update the security-tracker git repo when falling behind and not updating every day leading to obscure errors possibly caused by the workarounds I've used before to be able to catch up. I read solutions are in the works and can't hope enough that they will hopefully soon be in place. # References [1] https://www.freexian.com/lts/ [2] https://www.freexian.com/lts/debian/#sponsors [DLA-4661-1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2026/07/msg00002.html [DLA-4662-1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2026/07/msg00003.html
