> I have updated the patch thanks! and thanks for adding details to the changelog entry as well to clarify the backport changes, and to update the vcs links.
> The new requirement to include a "~bpo" string seems a bit unfortunate The current rules would require the version to change as: 1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 to 1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1~bpo20.04.1 I do think that generally makes sense, even though including both the '21.04.1' and '20.04.1' releases might be at first confusing. Note this does follow the backport version convention used by Debian: https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index4h3 The only possible future problem with that versioning I think is if the full 7.1.7 version was, at some point, *fully* SRU'ed back into focal. At that point, the SRU version would usually be a version like 1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1, which would actually be a lower version number than the version in backports. However, I don't think you are planning to do that (right?), and it's also generally not allowed to do using the SRU process. Other than the version number, the backport looks good to me; if you can upload it with the proper version number, I'm happy to approve it. -- 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/1950467 Title: [BPO] libreoffice 7.1.7 for focal Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libreoffice source package in Focal: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] * LibreOffice 7.1.7 is in its seventh (and last) bugfix release of the 7.1 line: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.1#7.1.7_release * This source packages matches the proposed SRU for hirsute handled at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1948933 and its backport is currently provided by the LibreOffice Still PPA at https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-still/+packages * LibreOffice 6.4.7 (EOL since November 30, 2020) is currently released in focal. * 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/1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 * 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_71/1460/ * 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. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing. * [amd64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/amd64/libr/libreoffice/20211110_055401_85a70@/log.gz * [arm64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/arm64/libr/libreoffice/20211110_013227_b21ba@/log.gz * [armhf] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/armhf/libr/libreoffice/20211110_015816_7e469@/log.gz * [ppc64el] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/ppc64el/libr/libreoffice/20211110_002248_216a6@/log.gz * [s390x] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/s390x/libr/libreoffice/20211109_232224_7b3ab@/log.gz * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice [Regression Potential] * A minor release with a total of 27 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.
