I've been maintainer for rear for quite some time.
After updating the source package upstream, I'm now working on patching
CVE-2024-23301 [1].
I've set up a PU [2] for bookworm and already uploaded it to the archive.
Now I also wanted to perform an LTS upload for bullseye and planned to follow
these instructions [3].
I'm allowed to do this as a regular DM?
Can I use the existing DLA [4] that's used in buster for bullseye as well?
Thanks for taking over the maintenance of rear since October.
As a DM you can prepare the upload, but you'll need a DD to perform the
actual upload. I would recommend that you prepare the upload, make it
available on Salsa and propose it to this list. An LTS team member
should volunteer to review, upload, and take care of the announcement as
well as other administrativia. The LTS Team member will also register a
new DLA, don't reuse the buster one.
Cheers!
