 * in testing by the popular ppas: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa/ and https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-3-5 since 2012-08-11

 * no script testplan, that's a libreoffice update, work with the new version, open documents with the different tools, edit some, see if you run into any new issue

[Regression Potential]

 * see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2012-June/001283.html ff.

Since 3.5 is EOL upstream, backporting various additional fixes that are not covered by the provisional MRE: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/debian-experimental-3.5

Here is the rationale for the backporting of these:

lp#1097437: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, one-line change
lp#1097710 and lp#1097811: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, prevents severe release regression against 3.5.4 (related: lp#1097811 and fdo#53909)
lp#1097715: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, fix limited to browserplugin, which wasnt working reliably on release anyway
lp#1097718: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, trivial change of one window-flag (possibly also fixes: fdo#48096, lp#26303, lp#399765, lp#999269)
lp#1097722: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, crasher, thus dataloss
lp#1097727: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, crasher, thus dataloss
lp#1097735: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, patch origin SUSE, fix limited to the RTF file import filter
lp#1097744: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, revert of hurting commit by original author
lp#1097748: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, one-line change, making us more generous in reading broken MSO2010 files
lp#1097760: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, fix of the offending commit by original author, bug introduction properly bibisected upstream
lp#1097782: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, one-line change adding a check for a NULL pointer (most possibly a regression against 3.3 too), crasher, thus dataloss
lp#1097829: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, crasher, thus dataloss
lp#1097966: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, prevents severe release regression against 3.5.4, one-line change
lp#1097962: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, crasher, thus dataloss
lp#1103495: released on Fedora 17 and upstream, prevents release regression against 3.5.4
lp#994388: released on Fedora 17 and upstream (see also: bug 1103056)

Yes, please test in the 3-5 ppa -- it makes it easier to argue this is a needed SRU when some people report it is used for some time without any observed regressions. Thanks.

Thanks so much Björn for keeping the stable ppa up to date. This point release fixed a long-standing bug which was affecting me.

@ Mozaic - the 3.5.7 precise build is avaiable via the very link you provided. Perhaps you're having a browser caching issue? WFM.

Mozaic, unfortunately i have to have this working and the ppa with the 3.6 version is broken for me so i had to try the libreoffice official release 3.6.4.3 which opens the document just fine so i cannot put any more effort into this.
The failing word .doc file is 19.6 M if that helps any, it is unfortunately confidential info so i cannot add it as example.

note that the -ubuntu4 version is to also push out this to the users of the widely used libreoffice ppa, as the ubuntu version creeped up to ubuntu3 there.

Hello Björn, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libreoffice into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

The current version in precise-updates is 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1.1 though, not sure where the versions you listed are coming from. Is that a regression over the current precise build?

fdo#53883, which I believe corresponds to bug 1097710, affected 3.5.6-0ubuntu1 and 3.5.7-0ubuntu1~precise3 but is fixed in 3.5.7-0ubuntu4. Thanks for that!

The Lucid backport is still affected by that bug, so I hope it can be updated at some point (I guess after this hits precise-updates). I backported 3.5.7-0ubuntu4 to Lucid myself and verified that it fixes it. Should I report that somewhere else for tracking?

I have been testing using a document from fdo#53883: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=70712

Verified also with the spreadsheet Mozaic posted in bug 1089473, on Precise and Lucid.

Thanks for your work!
