Debian LTS

June marked the fourteenth month I contributed to Debian LTS under the Freexian umbrella. I spent the 8 hours working on these LTS things:

Reviewed and tested libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy6

Fixed #825508 in mozilla-devscripts to prepare for the Icedove update resulting in DLA-518-1.

Rebased the proposed Wheezy Icedove update against the Jessie version and uploaded resulting in DLA-519-1.

Sent out the DLA-521-1 for Iceweasel, the upload was all done by Mike Hommey.

Rebuilt enigmail with the fixed mozilla-devscripts so it can still be used in Wheezy, resulting in DLA-523-1.

continue to work on updates for CVE-2016-0753 for ruby-active{record,support}-3.2 - not yet finished.

Looked into open qemu-kvm and qemu CVEs marking CVE-2015-8666 as no-dsa and fixing CVE-2016-3710 and CVE-2016-3712 via DLA-540-1 and DLA-539-1.

Other Debian stuff

Besides the usual bunch of libvirt* uploads I addressed several bugs in git-buildpackage, upload pending.
