[SRU] libreoffice 7.0.5 for groovy

[Heather Ellsworth]

[Impact]

 * LibreOffice 7.0.5 is in its fifth bugfix release of the 7.0 line:
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.0#7.0.5_release

 * Version 7.0.3 is currently released in groovy. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.0.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.0.4 and 7.0.5 (that's a total of 114 bugs for 7.0.4 + 104 for 7.0.5):
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.0.4/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.0.4/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.0.5/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.0.5/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs

 * 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.

[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:

  * More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here:
    * 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 minor release with a total of 218 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.

This should be superseded by 7.0.5 which will be tagged and finalized next week. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.0#7.0.5_release

Before proceeding with the review, I would need some clarification regarding the actual sync. I see that it has been synced from the libreoffice PPA - is that a binary sync or a source sync? (since we have no way of telling).

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

This is source sync. The source PPA doesn't contain built binaries.

Hello Heather, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libreoffice into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:7.0.5-0ubuntu0.20.10.1 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 on 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 add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Upgraded libreoffice from 1:7.0.3-0ubuntu0.20.10.1 to 1:7.0.5-0ubuntu0.20.10.1 from groovy-proposed in a clean and up-to-date groovy amd64 VM, and successfully ran test plan at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for libreoffice has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
