Test plan

Regression potential
--------------------

* 7z archives creation.
* Extension->Filetype detection in general when creating the archive (i.e., writing a .tar.xz extension should create a application/x-xz-compressed-tar.
* Loading archives in general must not say "archive not supported" for supported types.

Ubuntu sponsors, correct me if I'm wrong: Since this is a request to back port the current version from Oracular to Noble, I don't need to attach a debdiff.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks Nathan, I updated the changelog to target the right serie, lower the revision comparated to the oracular upload and include the bug number. If you go through the sponsoring process it's probably easier to still provide a debdiff next time because other reviewers/sponsors might not want to be doing those changes themselves.

On a 24.04 virtual machine with File Roller 44.3-0ubuntu1, I carried out each item of the test plan below reproduced, and the test plan was thoroughly successful.

Start File Roller

    Start File Roller from the launcher or desktop overview

    :)) The program is opened and reports that no archive is open.

Create an archive

    Use Ctrl+n or navigate the main menu to "New Archive". Type a name with an archive extension, e.g. u.tar.
    Use the + button to add some stuff to it.

    :)) tar tf u.tar lists the files that were added in the previous step.

Inspect an archive

    wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/file-roller/44.3-1/file-roller_44.3.orig.tar.xz.

    file-roller file-roller_44.3.orig.tar.xz.

    :)) File Roller opens and you after entering file-roller-44.3 you see its source tree.

    :)) Alt+Return or 'main menu -> Properites' identifies the archive as an application/x-xz-compressed-tar.

Extract an archive

    Click the 'extract' button on the upper left corner.
    Choose '/tmp' as the target location.

    :)) Dialog says that extraction completed successfully.
    Click show the files.

    :)) Your file manager opens and displays the /tmp directory. The file-roller-44.3 directory is inside.

Alter an archive's contents

    Select any file, right-click it and rename.

    :)) tar tf file-roller_44.3.orig.tar.xz reflects the rename.
