In September 2026 I've worked on the below listed packages for Freexian (E)LTS [1]. This is my nineteenth month involved with the (E)LTS efforts.
Many thanks to Freexian and our sponsors [2] for providing this opportunity! # packages ## aom I backported patches that had already been applied in trixie/stable to bookworm/lts. This resulted in [DLA-4774-1]. ## gawk Did some initial work to backport patches for the outstanding CVEs as requested in dla-needed.txt for both unstable/testing and bullseye, but since unstable/testing/... was also unfixed discussion proceeded in [bts#1142071] and stalled. ## jbig2dec I worked on updated package for bookworm/LTS which resulted in [DLA-4779-1]. I also did the work for stretch,buster,bullseye/ELTS and published [ELA-1824-1]. Note: security team fixed (only) stable, so unstable/testing still seems affected. ## zip I backported multiple security fixes from trixie to bookworm and issued [DLA-4785-1]. I also update stretch, buster and bullseye which was released as [ELA-1826-1]. ## libevent Backported patches to bookworm and issued [DLA-4786-1]. ### libarchive ELTS update for buster,stretch published as [ELA-1827-1]. ### evolution-data-server Published an update targeting bookworm/LTS announced as [DLA-4796-1]. ### network-manager-l2tp I've claimed and started work on addressing bookworm/LTS. I had some philosophical discussions about which liberties to take on the approach with fellow interested collegues in #debian-lts (and I much appreciate their interest). The work is not yet done and published. Will be part of next month most likely. # other I participated in the LTS Team meeting on IRC. Followed up on confusion in LTS Update Tasks #443 [lts-tasks].
