Note that the fix for upstream issue 642, which is one of the drivers for this SRU, hasn't been released in the 2.50.x series yet (it's only a commit on the master branch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/commit/da90a31c6604f747f290e236045d8c79d1186747).
The SRU process requires that a bug be fixed in the development release first, before considering a stable update (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure). I asked Federico what his plans are for a 2.50.2 release (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/issues/642#note_957195), let's see what he says before going ahead. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/issues #642 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/issues/642 ** Also affects: librsvg (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: librsvg (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) ** Changed in: librsvg (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: librsvg (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to librsvg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903329 Title: SRU the current 2.48.9 stable update Status in librsvg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in librsvg source package in Focal: Confirmed Bug description: * Impact That's the current GNOME stable update, which fixes a number of issues, including a regression[1] since librsvg 2.40.x which was shipped in Ubuntu 16.04. The NEWS file[2] summarizes the relevant changes between Ubuntu 20.04's current librsvg 2.48.7 (that version was also introduced by an SRU back in July[3]) and the current version 2.48.9. The complete list of changes is available on GNOME GitLab[4]. * Test case The update is part of GNOME stable updates[5]. Smoke testing by opening SVG images with eog or importing them with gimp can be performed to ensure there are no regressions. * Regression potential This is a bugfix-only stable micro-release, however librsvg is a core component with a number of reverse dependencies. A combination of autopkgtests and manual smoke testing to try and detect SVG rendering issues should be performed. * Notes about this report This is my first SRU request (and at the same time my first launchpad bug report). I'm not really familiar with the whole SRU process which is why I first asked about it on Ubuntu's official discourse forum[6]. Canonical's Sebastien Bacher encouraged me to open this ticket. I've copied over some parts of the last librsvg SRU ticket[3]. I hope this is fine. Thanks for considering this SRU.
