Bug Description
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.5.7 is in its seventh bugfix release of the 7.5 line:
https:/
* Version 7.5.6 is currently released in lunar. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.5.6 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.5.7 (that's a total of 14 bugs):
https:/
7.5.7 RC1 is identical to the 7.5.7 release
* 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:
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.
Tested build can be found at https:/
* [amd64] https:/
* [arm64] https:/
* [armhf] https:/
* [ppc64el] https:/
* [riscv64] not available
* [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 14 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.

For the next SRUs, if you have to add a patch or make other changes to something under debian/, please document it so that the SRU review can be quicker. In this particular case here, there is a patch being added that has no DEP3 header, no upstream bug, no origin, etc, which makes the review take more time.
For the record, Rico pasted this information to me on irc, about this patch:
<ricotz> ahasenack, the commit itself points to the troublesome bug report and the mailing list discussion of this aarch64 regression, as seen at https:/ /git.launchpad. net/~libreoffic e/ubuntu/ +source/ libreoffice/ log/?h= wip/lunar- 7.5
