Libreoffice 6.3.5/6?
I'm a desktop user. I'd like to have 6.3.5 on my desktop and follow
the minor updates, because 6/8 months make Libreoffice stable enough
for me, according to the Libreoffice wiki's "list of fixed bugs"
(example [1]) and experience.
6.3.5 release is planned on Feb 17 - Feb 23.
6.4.0 release is planned on Jan 27 - Feb 2.
Backports will probably skip 6.3.5 and update 6.3.4 to 6.4.0. At
least, this happened for the last couple of LO major releases.
On Ubuntu, when .5 was out, I added the PPA for that major version, it
wouldn't upgrade to another major version. On Debian, I must choose
between stable (unnecessarily old) and bpo (unnecessarily new).
Is it possible to
- Delay the upload of 6.4.0 long enough that 6.3.5 gets into backports
and can be installed?
- Or have a separate package libreoffice-3.6 in backports, to be
removed from the repo when it's EOL upstream, and kept locally with
apt-mark hold?
- Or something else?
