[BPO] libreoffice 7.3.6 for bionic

[Rico Tzschichholz]

[Impact]

 * LibreOffice 7.3.6 is in its sixth bugfix release of the 7.3 line:
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.3#7.3.6_release

 * This source packages matches the processed SRU for jammy handled at
     https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1988744
   and a test build is currently available at
     https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/experimental/+packages

 * Similar backport of 7.3.6 for focal handled at
     https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1989418

 * LibreOffice 6.0.7 (EOL since November 26, 2018) is currently released in bionic.

[Scope]

 * Backport of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:7.3.6-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

 * Backport target is Bionci/18.04 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_73/1900/

  * 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.

 * 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 combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-release as that team is not involved with the backport process.

[Thomas Ward (teward)]

Not all Autopkgtests have run and therefore you cannot claim they are all passing. This is marked Incomplete until you have provided evidence that all the autopkgtests and such clear for all supported architectures.

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

@teward, sorry, this took longer than expected. The missing armhf autopkgtest run finished successfully.
