Free software log (April 2018)

This is rather late since I got distracted by various other things including, ironically, releasing a bunch of software. This is for April, so doesn't include the releases from this month.

The main release I worked on was remctl 3.14, which fixed a security bug introduced in 3.12 with the sudo configuration option. This has since been replaced by 3.15, which has more thorough maintainer testing infrastructure to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

I also did the final steps of the release process for INN 2.6.2, although as usual Julien ÉLIE did all of the hard work.

On the Debian side, I uploaded a new rssh package for the migration to GitLab (salsa.debian.org). I have more work to do on that front, but haven't yet had the time. I've been prioritizing some of my own packages over doing more general Debian work.

Finally, I looked at my Perl modules on CPANTS (the CPAN testing service) and made note of a few things I need to fix, plus filed a couple of bugs for display issues (one of which turned out to be my fault and fixed in Git). I also did a bit of research on the badges that people in the Rust community use in their documentation and started adding support to DocKnot, some of which made it into the subsequent release I did this month.
