SRU tracking bug for plasma 5.12.9 in Bionic

[Rik Mills]

SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.9 LTS for bionic

Official release announcement by the KDE community: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.9.php

Complete changelog (excludes translation updates): https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.8-5.12.9-changelog.php

This time due to the small upstream list of packages with bugfixes, I am cherry-picking only 6 sources to SRU.

kdeplasma-addons
ksysguard
kwin
milou
plasma-desktop
plasma-workspace

[Impact]

 * Without this update, general users who are not inclined or able to add our backports/update ppa will not receive this bugfix release of the Plasma 5.12 LTS series

 * Providing this bugfix release via the official update pocket in the archive will ensure that the bugfixes here reach and benefit most of our users. This is particularly important for a Kubuntu and Plasma LTS release

[Test Case]

 * General tests:
  - Does plasma desktop start as normal with no apparent regressions over 5.12.8?
  - General workflow - testers should carry out their normal tasks, using the plasma features they normally do, and test common subsystems such as audio, settings changes, compositing, desktop affects, suspend etc.

 * Specific tests:
  - Check the changelog: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.8-5.12.9-changelog.php
  - Identify items with front/user facing changes capable of specific testing. e.g. "[weather] Fix weather Notices tab not showing."
   - Test the 'fixed' functionality.

[Regression Potential]

 * These updates fix some obvious front facing issues, but may also include some underlying code fixes.
  - e.g. changes for compilation under Qt versions we do not ship yet, code optimizations and fixes with less obvious explanation of impact in the changelog,

 * Fixes for obvious and testable bugs and regressions can also introduce unintended other regressions in either the feature/app being fixed, or desktop components or subsystems that interact with it. So it is important in these updates to consider:

 * General testing - does the desktop as a whole, and routine use of such work as previously with no obvious regressions over the previous release.

 * If there is say a fix for the audio applet to fix one issue, in addition to fixing that issue, do the other common features of that app still work as before, do the general audio settings still work?

[Other Info]

 * Packages not listed in the upstream changelog either have a 0-diff or just translation updates. Those with translation updates have been included in this SRU.

This was just an armhf test runner having a 'moment', failing to connect
to the archives. All OK on a test retry.

[Rik Mills (rikmills)]

Testing done and results:

[SRU upgrade and general testing]

- Since the upload to bionic-proposed, I have been using the archive packages to continue testing. No regressions apparent on a bare metal desktop machine, or a VM.

[ Bugfix testing ]

- I have done the best I can to reproduce bugs, and verify that the bionic-proposed package fixes the these. All I have reasonably been able to reproduce on systems prior to upgrade, appear to be fixed in the SRU versions from proposed.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for kdeplasma-addons has completed successfully and the package has now been 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.
