** Description changed: SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.5 LTS for bionic 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 + * 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 + * 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. + * 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. + * Specific tests: + - Check the changelog: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma- .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.

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. + * 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.
