I see this time the tests that were previously failing on s390x are just being disabled via a package patch. Unfortunately there was no movement in the upstream bug about this yet. Given this, and the length of time this update has been attempted (since 7.4.3 in late november 2022), doesn't look like a fix is in the near horizon.

For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.4.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.4.4 (that's a total of 114 bugs): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.4.4/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.4.4/RC2#List_of_fixed_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. [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_74/1542/ * 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-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/amd64/libr/libreoffice/20230106_232736_1d62c@/log.gz * [arm64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/arm64/libr/libreoffice/20230107_123110_dfe59@/log.gz * [armhf] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/armhf/libr/libreoffice/20230107_140034_7d823@/log.gz * [ppc64el] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/ppc64el/libr/libreoffice/20230107_011032_e9378@/log.gz * [s390x] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/s390x/libr/libreoffice/20230112_013620_d1bce@/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 114 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.
