Public bug reported: [Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.3.6 is in its sixth bugfix release of the 7.3 line: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.3#7.3.6_release * This source packages matches the proposed SRU for jammy handled at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1988744 and its backport is currently provided by the LibreOffice Fresh PPA at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages * Previous backport of 7.3.5 handled at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1987045 * LibreOffice 6.4.7 (EOL since November 30, 2020) is currently released in focal. * LibreOffice 7.3.5 is currently released in focal-backports. * 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. [Scope] * Backport of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:7.3.6-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 * Backport target is Focal/20.04 LTS only to provide an official build of a more recent upstream version of LibreOffice [Testing] * Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised (both in an automated manner and manually). * A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here: https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_73/1900/ * More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here: * Automated tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Automated_Tests * Automated UI tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/UITests * Regression tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests * Feature tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Feature_Tests * Launchpad testing.
