Finding bugs where nobody has found before: helping cURL to avoid patch releases

Speaker: Carlos Henrique Lima Melara

Track: Packaging, policy, and Debian infrastructure

Type: Long talk (45 minutes)

cURL has been consistently making patch releases for more than 26 years, but now these days might be over. With a combination of Release Candidates and the full power of Debian CI, we (maintainers of cURL in Debian) can help upstream developers to find and fix any bugs and regressions before the official release. If you want to know how we achieved this success and how you can do the same for <insert_here_the_name_of_your_preferred_package>, join us!
