Debian LTS

November marked the nineteenth month I contributed to Debian LTS under the Freexian umbrella. I had 7 hours allocated which I used completely by:

Being at LTS frontdesk twice (at the beginning and end of November) triaging about ~30 CVEs.

Preparing and releasing DLA-698-1 for QEMU fixing 9 CVEs

Putting out DLA-699-1 for xen, the acutal xen update was prepared by Bastian Blank

Other Debian stuff

Usual bunch of libvirt and related uploads (osinfo-db-tools, libvirt-python, libosinfo)

Sponsored svn2git upload

Uploaded git-buildpackage 0.8.7 to unstable (list of changes)

Some other Free Software activites

Created foreman_influxdb: a plugin to forward foreman metrics to influxdb

Released of first version of ldapsp: a Foreman realm smartproxy to create arbitrary LDAP entries

Fixed updating compute resources in ansible-module-foreman

Fixed a bug in fog-vsphere that would make massive parallel vm creation in Foreman fail

Helped to update influxdb-rails so the gem is compatible with influxdb-ruby again.
