SRU Bug TemplateΒΆ
[ Impact ]
* An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and justification
for backporting the fix to the stable release.
* In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
[ Test Plan ]
* detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
* these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package
fixes the problem.
* if other testing is appropriate to perform before landing this
update, this should also be described here.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* Think about what the upload changes in the software. Imagine the
change is wrong or breaks something else: how would this show up?
* It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event
of a regression.
* This must never be "None" or "Low", or entirely an argument as to why
your upload is low risk.
* This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
[ Other Info ]
* Anything else you think is useful to include
* Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams
and the Technical Board and address these questions in advance
