Bug Description
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.3.6 is in its sixth bugfix release of the 7.3 line:
https:/
* This source packages matches the proposed SRU for jammy handled at
https:/
and its backport is currently provided by the LibreOffice Fresh PPA at
https:/
* Previous backport of 7.3.5 handled at
https:/
* LibreOffice 6.4.7 (EOL since November 30, 2020) is currently released in focal.
* LibreOffice 7.3.5 is currently released in focal-backports.
* 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:/
* 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:/
* More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here:
* Automated tests
https:/
* Automated UI tests
https:/
* Regression tests
https:/
* Feature tests
https:/
* Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing.
* [amd64] https:/
* [arm64] https:/
* [armhf] https:/
* [ppc64el] https:/
* [s390x] https:/
* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by: https:/
[Regression Potential]
* A minor release with a total of 50 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.

I'm confused, are you asking for a backport to the backports pocket or an SRU? The bug refers to SRU in multiple places.
Backports in the backports pocket are NOT SRUs so its critical to identify which process and goal you have in mind - SRU or backport.
