My Free Software Activities in December 2017

Welcome to gambaru.de. Here is my monthly report that covers what I have been doing for Debian. If you're interested in  Java, Games and LTS topics, this might be interesting for you.

Debian Games

  • I spent some time in December 2017 to revive Hex-a-Hop, a nice (and somehow cute) logic game, which eventually closed seven bugs. Unfortunately this game was not well maintained but it should be up-to-date again now.
  • I released a new version of debian-games, a collection of games metapackages. Five packages were removed from Debian but  I could also add eight new games or frontends to compensate for that.
  • I updated a couple of packages to fix minor and normal bugs namely: dopewars (#633392,  #857671), caveexpress, marsshooter, snowballz (#866481), drascula, lure-of-the-temptress, lgeneral-data (#861048) and lordsawar (#885888).
  • I also packaged new upstream versions of renpy and lgeneral.
  • Last but not least: I completed another bullet transition (#885179).

Debian Java

Debian LTS

This was my twenty-second month as a paid contributor and I have been paid to work 14 hours on Debian LTS, a project started by Raphaël Hertzog. In that time I did the following:

  • DLA-1216-1. Issued a security update for wordpress fixing 4 CVE.
  • DLA-1227-1. Issued a security update for imagemagick fixing 4 CVE.
  • DLA-1231-1. Issued a security update for graphicsmagick fixing 8 CVE. I confirmed that two more CVE (CVE-2017-17783 and CVE-2017-17913) did not affect the version in Wheezy.
  • DLA-1236-1. Issued a security update for plexus-utils fixing 1 CVE.
  • DLA-1237-1. Issued a security update for plexus-utils2 fixing 1 CVE.
  • DLA-1208-1. I released an update for Debian's reportbug tool to fix bug #878088. The LTS and security teams will be informed from now on when users report regressions due to security updates. I have also prepared updates for Jessie/Stretch and unstable but my NMU was eventually canceled by the maintainer of reportbug . He has not made a concrete counterproposal yet.

Misc

  • I reviewed and sponsored mygui and openmw for Bret Curtis.
  • I updated byzanz and fixed #830011.
  • I adopted the imlib2 image library and prepared a new upstream release. I hope to release it soon.

Non-maintainer upload

  • I NMUed lmarbles, prepared a new upstream release and fixed some bugs.

Thanks for reading and see you next time.
