Public bug reported: [Impact]
* LibreOffice 6.3.4 is in its fourth bugfix release of the 6.3 line. Version 6.3.4 is currently in focal. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 6.3.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the two release candidates: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.3.4/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.3.4/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs (that's a total of 126 bugs) * Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes. [Test Case] * No specific test case, bugs fixed upstream hopefully come with unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised upstream (both in an automated manner and manually) by a community of testers. Each minor release normally goes through two release candidates. * The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests, those should be run and verified to pass. * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite should be carried out. [Regression Potential] * A minor release with a total of 126 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-only release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed. * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in. ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson) Status: New ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: High Assignee: Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson) Status: New ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson) ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Eoan) Assignee: (unassigned) => Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson) ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856446 Title: [SRU] libreoffice 6.3.4 for eoan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1856446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
