### **Debian LTS/ELTS** This was my hundred-forty-seventh month that I did some work for the Debian LTS initiative, started by Raphael Hertzog at Freexian. During my allocated time I uploaded or worked on: * [DLA 4804-1] libsmpp34 security update to fix one CVE in Bookworm related to an out of bound read. * [#1149107] trixie-pu of libsmpp34 has been created and wait for review by the release team. * [DLA 4805-1] mkvtoolnix security update to fix one CVE in Bookworm related to a heap buffer overflow. * [DLA 4806-1] pgextwlist security update to fix one CVE in Bookworm related to substituting extension schemas or owners matching [“$’\\]. * [ELA-1837-1] mkvtoolnix gimp security update to fix one CVE in Bullseye to a heap buffer overflow. * [osmo-iuh] upload to fix a CVE related to a reachable assertion in Sid. Besides doing these uploads, the month was filled with unscheduled meetings, discussions and explanations, all basically around the role of FD. During my week of FD duties, I had to become familiar with new tools. As there are several things that FD has to do over and over again, I tried to automate this a bit. My experiments went well and I think this can be used to make FD duties less repetitive. I also continued my work on _cups_ and _hplip_ and I am confident that I can do uploads in October. Last but not least I spend some time on security-master to assist others (especially the kernel team) with uploads to Bookworm and Bullseye. In case you need to get a complete clone of the security-tracker, using the option _–deepen n_ might be of help. Unfortunately in case you choosed n too high and some kind of error appears, something gets into a mess and you need to start almost from the beginning (some objects are still present and are used again). If you want to run a script, a value of _10_ might be a good choice. You don’t have to _deepen_ back to the beginning. At some point in time you can just _–unshallow_ and get the whole rest. Afterwards doing a _git gc_ is highly recommended. ### **Debian Printing** This month I uploaded a new upstream version or a bugfix version of: * … hplip to unstable, to fix an expired certificate and some bugs. **This work is generously funded by Freexian!** ### **Debian Lomiri** Unfortunately this month my work did not make any progress. **Nevertheless, in case of any work done, this would have been generously funded by Fre(i)e Software GmbH!** ### **Debian Astro** Unfortunately I had no time to work in this category this month. ### **Debian IoT** Unfortunately I had no time to work in this category this month. ### **Debian Mobcom** This month I uploaded a new upstream version or a bugfix version of: * … osmocom-dahdi-linux to unstable to fix some bugs. * … osmo-iuh to unstable. ### **misc** This month I uploaded a new upstream version or a bugfix version of: * … pkcs11-proxy to unstable to fix a bug related to openssl 4.0. * … meep to unstable to fix bugs. * … meep-mpi-default to unstable to fix bugs. * … harminv to unstable to fix bugs. * … libctl to unstable to fix bugs.

In this video, I raise some challenges to the commonly held assumption that the would-be followers of the Heaven's Gate cult were simply looking for something - anything - to believe in.
