When Debian LTS (https://wiki.debian.org/LTS) started in 2014 for Debian 6 "squeeze",
(https://web.archive.org/web/20240720200316/https://www.debian.org/News/2014/20140616)
we didn't have any certainty about its future success.Ten years later, we are happy to announce that more than 4000 security updates have been published under the LTS initiative.
More precisely, DLA 4000-1 (https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/12/msg00022.html)
was released on 21st December 2024 by Guilhem Moulin to fix three CVEs in sqlparse. -

Temporary remediation
While we prepare updates for the different Debian releases, this is a list of actions that remediate the exposure to the vulnerabilities:
Remove cups from BrowseRemoteProtocols in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf or disable cups-browsed if possible
Block any incoming traffic to the 631 UDP portThanks to the Debian Security Team for their collaboration on addressing these issues!

You may be aware of the OpenPrinting CUPS vulnerabilities disclosed yesterday by Simone Margaritelli.
Unfortunately, this disclosure happened without the planned coordination between the reporter, the developers and the different distributions, without waiting for proper and tested patches to be available. As a result, vulnerable machines are currently exposed.
The Debian LTS team is working on preparing updates for the different Debian releases

Freexian offers Extended LTS (#ELTS) service which extends Debian's security support period up to 10 years.
In 2024, with #Debian 10 having reached its end-of-life on June 30th on the Debian side, #Freexian added Debian 10 to the set of ELTS releases that we are maintaining.
Debian 10 #buster is joining Debian 8 #jessie (still supported for 1 year) and Debian 9 #stretch (still supported for 3 years).
You can find more details by reading our blog post - https://www.freexian.com/blog/extended-lts-for-debian-10/

Let us start with introducing the #debusine Project, developed and funded by Freexian with the support of @sovtechfund.
Debusine manages scheduling and distribution of Debian-related tasks to a network of worker machines. One of our main goals is to build a workflow integrating initial package submission, builds on all architectures, QA tests, reviews, signature and upload.

@clacke @Di4na I completely forgot about #Freexian #debianLTS. Thanks for the reminder.
The reality of course is that corporations just want the code for free.
This grows obscene when multi hundred billion dollar companies that were created and scaled up on a full free software stack don't support free software as a core expense. That's support in billions yearly.
Facebook google most major web services.

So, anyone who wants a Debian supplier can just jump on this and that's exactly what they get.
"Any contribution gives you the right to submit a list of packages that you rely on, and that should be prioritized in terms of security support."
"If your funding level is at least Bronze 1, Freexian will subscribe the person listed as technical contact to a private mailing list that all contributing companies can use to discuss their needs and share their experience."
"If your funding level is at least Silver 1, you can submit your queries and requests about Debian LTS in general and/or any security update in particular to us."
"If your funding level is Platinum, you can submit to us functional tests covering the set of packages that you care about, and we will run those tests on updated packages to detect undesired regressions"

It was certainly an interesting cooperation between developers and sysadmin to get rid of the performance issues we faced! debusine.debian.net is becoming a non-trivial deployment where scaling issues can create real usability issues for end-users.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@freexian/116237627398731887
This new #Debusine feature is a significant addition for #Debian developers: it applies to all QA tasks (lintian, piuparts, autopkgtest, blhc, …) and is very fine-grained in what it reports. For example, if you have 3 tests in autopkgtest, two of which are currently failing, and you now have only one failing in your new upload, it's shown as an improvement. And the opposite works: if you have one more tests failing, it's a regression.
It's really useful to discover problems that your package upload is introducing, simply by filtering out failures that are due to something else.

Hiring your first dedicated sales manager in a company composed of technical experts is a significant challenge, but one that we are willing to tackle. If you know someone with that profile, and who values free software and #Debian, please reach out to them and share this offer to work at #Freexian.

This is the culmination of one year of work in the #Debusine team and certainly a game changer in the #Debian community. Now we will build on this to make it possible to prepare large transitions in Debusine repositories, with all packages to be uploaded together when the entire set is ready and validated.
