The secret sauce of Debian - DebConf24
Have you ever wondered what makes Debian so stable (even Debian testing)?
Find out what tools and processes are put in place to ensure that everything we
ship is of the highest quality and how Debian ends up being the first one to
find and report issues to external projects.
There’s a lot to talk about, so we are sticking to the high level and to
covering as many items as possible.
The main topics are the release process and the QA/CI/testing mechanisms.
Presenter:
Samuel Henrique "samueloph" is a software developer focused on Debian, Linux, Python, Rust and Security. He's a Debian Developer, contributing mostly to packaging of security tools in the Debian Security Tools Packaging Team (pkg-security).
Samuel maintains a few other key packages on Debian, such as "curl", "rsync" and "nmap", for which he's also responsible for fixing CVEs for all Debian releases.
Working as a System Development Engineer in Amazon Linux, Samuel develops Rust and Python-based systems that deals with CVE processing at AWS.
He also helps people learning packaging and starting to contributing to Debian.
