Installation Order

# 1. Install runtime libraries first
sudo dpkg -i qt6-release-runtime_1.0-1_amd64.deb

# 2. Install sources (optional, for development)
sudo dpkg -i qt6-release-sources_1.0-1_amd64.deb

# 3. Install test runtime (optional, for testing)
sudo dpkg -i ctest-runtime_1.0-1_amd64.deb

# 4. Install test sources (optional, for test development)
sudo dpkg -i ctest-sources_1.0-1_amd64.deb

# 5. Install build pipeline (optional, for CI/CD)
sudo dpkg -i qt6-release-build-pipeline_1.0-1_amd64.deb

# Fix any dependency issues
sudo apt-get install -f

Build Script

Location: /home/torsten/sandbox/qt6-migration-pipeline/rpmbuild/make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.py

Usage:

python3 make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.py \
  -c LTS \
  --project_name guez \
  --version 1.0 \
  --build_number 1 \
  --output_dir /path/to/output \
  --source_dir /path/to/qt-migration-legatus/qt6-after/qt6-migrated-legatus

Key Fixes Applied

1. debhelper variables: Removed ${shlibs:Depends} and ${misc:Depends} (dpkg-deb doesn't support them)
2. Build directory: Uses /tmp with PID-based names to avoid conflicts
3. Broken symlinks: Skips non-existent symlinks (e.g., external/ArcGIS)
4. Working directory: Restores original directory after each package build
5. Build cleanup: Removes build directory after each package to save disk space
6. Build-pipeline path: Fixed to use project root instead of source_dir

Migration Scope (Release 2)

AP3 - Shared Libraries:

• ✓ Lts/Common (base classes, utilities)
• ✓ Lts/DDS (data distribution service)
• ✓ Lts/Services (service layer)
• ✓ Lts/Proxies/TrainingAreaBase (proxy objects)
• ✓ Lts/Tools (tool executables)

AP4 - DDS Middleware: Included in Lts/DDS module

AP9 - Tools & Translations:

• ✓ Tool executables in runtime package
• ✓ Translation files (*.ts) in sources packages
• ✓ Build pipeline configuration

Known Issues

1. Manifest files: Empty (0 bytes) in manifests/ directory - needs investigation
2. Validation warnings: Sources package contains *.h header files (may need validation rule adjustment)
3. docker/ directory: Not included in build-pipeline package (directory doesn't exist)

Documentation

• README.md - Installation guide and package descriptions
• RELEASE_NOTES.md - Comprehensive release notes with changelog

Next Steps

1. Test DEB package installation on clean Ubuntu 26.04 system
2. Validate runtime libraries load correctly
3. Run test suite using ctest packages
4. Verify build pipeline integration with Jenkins
5. Address manifest generation issue
6. Review validation rules for header files
