Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 6.4.3 is in its third bugfix release of the 6.4 line.
For a list of fixed bugs compared to 6.4.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the
two release candidates:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.3/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.3/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs
(that's a total of 58 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 58 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.
