Hi Amr, the reason we haven't pushed through a 6.4.7 SRU for focal is because there was an issue with 6.4.6 that led to an upstream bug:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137139 Unfortunately a reproducer has not yet been identified. But there are still many crashes on Kubuntu being anonymously reported as the 6.4.6 failure. Because of these anonymous crash reports, the release team stopped the phased roll out of 6.4.6 to focal systems. More on that phased rollout process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Phasing So because there is not really a path to a resolution to the 6.4.6 issue, it is reasonable to assume that the release team would not accept 6.4.7. ** Bug watch added: Document Foundation Bugzilla #137139 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137139 -- 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. 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.
