Steve asked that I have a look at the existing provisional micro-release exceptions to determine how many times the MRE was used and whether or not there were any issues with those micro-releases. Kees Cook and I put some code together that checks the package to see how many times a version of the package has been released to -updates for supported releases (including those formerly supported), whether there were any new crashes reported about that version of the package in the Error Tracker, and finally searches Launchpad for any bug reports reported by apport that have that specific package version in them. For any package the results look like:
package, release updates: quantity of SRUs
release version: 1.2.3
date SRU version
new errors reported: count
launchpad bugs: #
I've posted the search results to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions/ProvisionalStatus
One thing to note is that automatic crash reporting is not enabled for
servers and a lot of the packages with provisional MREs are server
packages. Also, I deliberately excluded iscsitarget since its
provisional MRE is less than a month old. Finally, if the quantity of
errors or Launchpad bugs is important then libreoffice will require some
additional research.
