That dep8 failure on s390x is unfortunate. I saw the upstream bug, and it would be nice to have a bit more investigation. libreoffice is used by other packages in the archive, and I worry that by letting a regression in via this SRU could affect others. For example, libreoffice tests are also run when glib, dbus, apparmor, and others, are updated.
I know these tests also take a long time to run unfortunately :/ Could this failure be investigated a bit more perhaps? Is it also happening in debian? Other distros that also ship it for s390x? Does it also happen in lunar? I see 7.4.3 migrated in lunar at some point. If you are convinced it's a very localized failure and that the SRU should proceed despite it, then please file an MP against the hints branch for kinetic at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- release/britney/+git/hints-ubuntu/+ref/kinetic stating the reasoning. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1997333 Title: [SRU] libreoffice 7.4.3 for kinetic Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libreoffice source package in Kinetic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] * LibreOffice 7.4.3 is in its third bugfix release of the 7.4 line: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.4#7.4.3_release * Version 7.4.2 is currently released in kinetic. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.4.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.4.3 (that's a total of 100 bugs): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.4.3/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.4.3/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: https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_74/1235/ * More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here: * Automated tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/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. * [amd64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/amd64/libr/libreoffice/20221119_025653_ec91f@/log.gz * [arm64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/arm64/libr/libreoffice/20221119_074354_fc477@/log.gz * [armhf] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/armhf/libr/libreoffice/20221119_023808_27800@/log.gz * [ppc64el] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-kinetic-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/kinetic/ppc64el/libr/libreoffice/20221119_024545_1a3cc@/log.gz * [s390x] regressed and will need an expection, pending investigation https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152182 * 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 100 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.
