# Qt6 Migrated Modules First Release - Implementation Report

## Date
2026-10-16

## Summary
Successfully configured the Qt6-migrated modules release pipeline to use script-based filtering instead of physical file removal. The release scope (M = {TetraIF, Z, Lts/Common}) is now enforced at package build time through the `--release_scope` flag in the RPM/DEB builder.

## Changes Made

### 1. rpmbuild/make_rpm_ubuntu26.py
**Commit:** c0b9df9 "Add release scope filtering to DEB package builder"

- Added `--release_scope` command-line argument
- Updated `copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir()` function to filter source files when `release_scope=True`
- Updated `build_deb()` function to accept and pass `release_scope` parameter
- Release scope includes only:
  - TetraIF/
  - Z/src/
  - Lts/Common/
  - Supporting infrastructure: CMakeLists.txt, cmake/, tests/, specs/, include/, translations/, external/
  - Build/config files: .gitignore, .envrc, doxygen/, src/

### 2. jenkins-ci-rme/jenkins_builder_ubuntu26.sh
**Commit:** eef05c1 "Enable release scope filtering in Jenkins builder"

- Added `--release_scope` flag to make_rpm_ubuntu26.py invocation
- Works in conjunction with existing `-DRELEASE_BUILD=ON` CMake flag

### 3. RELEASE_SCOPE_AUDIT.md
**Commit:** 08a10dd92 "Document release scope packaging strategy"

- Documented complete module sets: R (all), M (release), S (release + dependencies), R\S (excluded)
- Added packaging strategy section explaining script-based filtering approach
- Listed CMake configuration details and file references
- Documented validation requirements

### 4. Parent Repository Submodule Updates
**Commit:** a1d5b445e "Update submodule references for release scope filtering"

- Updated submodule pointers to include new commits in rpmbuild and jenkins-ci-rme

## Approach: Script-Based Filtering

Instead of physically removing non-release files from repositories, the release scope is enforced at package build time:

**Benefits:**
- Preserves full source history and development context
- Same source tree supports both release and development builds
- Reversible and auditable through script changes
- Clear separation between source control and release artifacts

**Implementation:**
- CMake `RELEASE_BUILD=ON` option controls which modules are built
- `--release_scope` flag controls which files are included in DEB packages
- Jenkins pipeline passes both flags for consistent release builds

## Module Scope

### Release Modules (M)
1. **TetraIF/** - Complete TetraIF module (CoPrtCnv, LogView, PrtCnv)
2. **Z/** - Complete Z module (all src/ subdirectories)
3. **Lts/Common/** - Common utilities (excludes LtsElevation)

### Required Dependencies (S \ M)

- Z/src/
- Lts/Common/ (28 submodules)

### S (Release Scope = M + Dependencies)
- M modules plus:
- Lts/Proxies/TrainingAreaBase (required by TetraIF/CoPrtCnv for tabTelegrams)

### DDS File Exclusions

Implemented via is_dds_file() function in make_rpm_ubuntu26.py:
- Filters all files/directories containing "dds" (case-insensitive)
- Applied to both release_scope and full source tree copy operations
- Verified: No DDS files in sources package
