** Description changed: - SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.5 for bionic + SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.5 LTS for bionic - Full SRU template and package info will be added once the release - announcements are out + We released Bionic with Plasma 5.12.4; Plasma 5.12.5 bugfix was released + on April 25 2017. + + Official release announcement by the KDE community: + https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.5.php + + Complete changelog (excludes translation updates): + https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.4-5.12.5-changelog.php + + [Impact] + + * Without this update, general users who are not inclined or able to + add our backports/update ppa will not receive this bugfix release of the + Plasma 5.12 LTS series + + * Providing this bugfix release via the official update pocket in the + archive will ensure that the bugfixes here reach and benefit most of our + users. This is particularly important for a Kubuntu and Plasma LTS + release + + [Test Case] + + * General tests: + - Does plasma desktop start as normal with no apparent regressions over 5.12.4? + - General workflow - testers should carry out their normal tasks, using the plasma features they normally do, and test common subsystems such as audio, settings changes, compositing, desktop affects, suspend etc. + + * Specific tests: + - Check the changelog: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.4-5.12.5-changelog.php + - Identify items with front/user facing changes capable of specific testing. e.g. "Default power scheme in place of config is removed to simulate a new install" in plasma workspace,"weather plasmoid fetches BBC weather data." + - Test the 'fixed' functionality. + + [Regression Potential] + + * These updates fix some obvious front facing issues, but also include some underlying code fixes. + - e.g. changes for compilation under Qt versions we do not ship yet, code optimizations and fixes with less obvious explanation of impact in the changelog, + + * Fixes for obvious and testable bugs and regressions can also + introduce unintended other regressions in either the feature/app being + fixed, or desktop components or subsystems that interact with it. So it + is important in these updates to consider: + + * General testing - does the desktop as a whole, and routine use of such + work as previously with no obvious regressions over the previous + release. + + * If there is say a fix for the audio applet to fix one issue, in + addition to fixing that issue, do the other common features of that app + still work as before, do the general audio settings still work? + + [Other Info] + + * Packages not listed in the changelog either have a 0-diff or just translation updates, but have been included in the update to maintain a cohesive whole, and to not confuse users who expect to see all plasma components updated in any update release. + * However, we deliberately versioned depends and build depends, so that if accepting rebuilt small diff packages into the final release to the updates pocket is considered too much of a regression potential, or too difficult to validate, packages that have not introduced or require a dependency (internal or external) on 5.12.5 version, should be able to be abandoned from consideration and the SRU.
