Debian LTS

September marked the seventeenth month I contributed to Debian LTS under the Freexian umbrella. I spent 6 hours (out of 7) working on

updating Icedove to 45.3 resulting in DLA-640-1

finishing my work on bringing rails into shape security wise resulting in DLA-641-1 for ruby-activesupport-3.2 and DLA-642-1 for ruby-activerecord-3.2.

enhancing the autopkgtests for qemu a bit

Other Debian stuff

Uploaded libvirt 2.3.0~rc1 to experimental

Uploaded whatmaps to 0.0.12 in unstable.

Uploaded git-buildpackage 0.8.4 to unstable.

Other Free Software activities

Ansible: got the foreman callback plugin needed for foreman_ansible merged upstream.

Made several improvements to foreman_ansible_inventory (a ansible dynamic inventory querying Foreman): Fixing an endless loop when Foreman would miscalculate the number of hosts to process, flake8 cleaniness and some work on python3 support

ansible-module-foreman:

unbreak defining subnets by setting the default boot mode.

add support for configuring realms

Foreman: add some robustness to the nice rebuild host feature when DNS entries are already there

Released whatmaps 0.0.12.

Errors related to a single package don't abort the whole program but rather skip over it now.

Systemd user sessions are filtered out

The codebase is now checked with flake8.
