E: lintian: bits-from-the-lintian-maintainers
Static analysis tools are criminally underused in software engineering; not only can they detect many common problems, pitfalls and security issues, unlike test suites, no additional code needs to be written. Futhermore, many tools provide helpful hints on how to fix the issues they expose.
In Debian, Lintian dissects packages and tries to find bugs and policy violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian policy as well as some checks for common errors. Reports are generated and published on the lintian.debian.org website.
In this talk you will learn about the past, present and future of Lintian, as well as how to contribute and make Debian better.
Debian LTS, the good, the bad and the better
Started in late 2014, Debian LTS exists and has provided additional security support for the Squeeze, Wheezy and Jessie releases. LTS support for Stretch is also planned.
In this BoF we want to briefly explain how LTS is done, how you can support it, either finanically or by volunteer work and provide a venue for discussions how to improve it.
The targetted audience for this talk is everyone, user, contributor, sysadmin, sponsor, you. Though of course due to the subjects being discussed this will be a quite technical discussion.
Reproducible Builds - aiming for bullseye
The goal of this talk is to give the whole Debian community an update on the state of Reproducible Builds in Debian and in the whole free software world as well as to explain what we are aiming for the bullseye release.
It’s been 6 years since Reproducible Builds were first introduced to the Debian community at large at DebConf13 in Vaumarcus and much progress has been achieved since, yet the buster release has not really achieved reproducible builds.
In this talk we will explain the current status, explain what’s missing and hopefully present workable ideas how to improve things for bullseye.
