Public bug reported: [Impact]
* LibreOffice 6.4.7 is in its seventh bug-fix release of the 6.4 branch. Version 6.4.6 is currently in focal. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 6.4.6 see the list of bugs fixed in the two release candidates: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.7/RC1 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.7/RC2 (that's a total of 72 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 72 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bug-fix-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: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906684 Title: [SRU] libreoffice 6.4.7 for Focal Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: [Impact] * LibreOffice 6.4.7 is in its seventh bug-fix release of the 6.4 branch.
