Hi all,

as of today, the Debian squeeze LTS support will cease and squeeze  
will finally enter the archived archives of Debian.

.oO( /me gets out his handkerchief ...)

As (paid) LTS contributor you may wonder what to do next, esp. until  
the official Debian wheezy LTS support period starts on 26th April  
2016. At least I did wonder about that, today...

One thing, we can do, I guess, is helping out with the Debian Security  
Team regarding package updates in Debian wheezy.

For this, we can run bin/lts-needs-forward-port.py from the  
secure-testing repo and see what issues we fixed in squeeze and port  
those fixes to the package version in wheezy-security. Package updates  
must be coordinated with the Debian Security Team, not within the LTS  
team, though:

   * prepare a fixed package
   * test the package
   * send a .debdiff to team@security.debian.org
   * wait for feedback and ideally permission to upload to wheezy-security

(Is the above said correct? Please elaborate, if not).

Currently, we have these candidates of potentially  
easy-to-fix-in-wheezy packages:

CVE-2015-6749
"""

I am posting this CVE/package list here on purpose, because the said  
script may not be working anymore, once the squeeze Debian package  
repo section has been moved to archive.debian.org.

Furthermore, as it seems, we need to modify some bits and pieces in  
the secure-testing repo to get our workflow up-and-running for Debian  
wheezy LTS. Is anyone already working on that? What is the current  
status?

Has there already been a discussion that I am not aware of about how  
the LTS team can work on wheezy-security updates in a coordinated  
fashion until the 26th of April? If there has not been a discussion,  
yet, we should sort this out during this week. My proposal would be to  
prepare the Debian wheezy LTS workflow in the secure-testing SVN repo,  
so that our upcoming workflow can be very similar to what we are used  
to. For the interim phase until the 26th of April 2016, however, we  
need to run a modified approach.


Request for feedback and comments... (I have some concrete proposals  
in mind, but I want to check, if these issues have already been  
solved, first).

light+love
Mike
