Release 2a DEB Packaging Filter - Manual Application Required

Issue

The file rpmbuild/make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.py is owned by root and requires sudo to modify.

Required Changes

Add Release 2a scope filtering to exclude:

• All svc* service directories (Release 2b scope)
• Test executable directories (*Tests)
• LtsElevation module (depends on excluded AssetManagement)
• AssetManagement plugin

Option 1: Apply Patch (Recommended)

cd /home/torsten/sandbox/qt6-migration-pipeline/qt-migration-legatus/qt6-after/qt6-migrated-legatus
sudo patch -p1 < /tmp/make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.patch

Option 2: Manual Edit

Edit rpmbuild/make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.py with sudo:

Step 1: Add filter function after imports (after line 30)

def is_release2a_scope(filepath):
    """Check if file/directory is outside Release 2a scope (libraries only)
    
    Release 2a scope: 18 library targets (no services, no test executables)
    Returns True to EXCLUDE, False to INCLUDE
    
    Excluded:
    - All svc* service directories
    - Test executable directories (*Tests)
    - LtsElevation (depends on excluded AssetManagement)
    - AssetManagement plugin
    """
    filepath_str = str(filepath)
    
    # Exclude svc* services (Release 2b scope)
    if '/svc' in filepath_str.lower():
        return True
    
    # Exclude test executables (Release 2a is libraries only)
    test_patterns = ['Tests/', 'Tests\\', '_Tests/', '_Tests\\']
    for pattern in test_patterns:
        if pattern in filepath_str:
            return True
    
    # Exclude LtsElevation (depends on excluded AssetManagement)
    if 'LtsElevation' in filepath_str:
        return True
    
    # Exclude AssetManagement plugin
    if 'AssetManagement' in filepath_str:
        return True
    
    return False

Step 2: Update 3 copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir calls

Line ~625 (Package 2 - qt6-release-sources):

# OLD:
copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir(source_dir, pkg2_dir, release_scope=False, release_dirs=release_dirs)

# NEW:
copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir(source_dir, pkg2_dir, release_scope=False, release_dirs=release_dirs, file_filter=is_release2a_scope)

Line ~668 (Package 3 - qt6-release-ctest-runtime):

# OLD:
copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir(source_dir, pkg3_dir, release_scope=False, release_dirs=release_dirs)

# NEW:
copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir(source_dir, pkg3_dir, release_scope=False, release_dirs=release_dirs, file_filter=is_release2a_scope)

Line ~718 (Package 4 - qt6-release-ctest-sources):

# OLD:
copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir(source_dir, pkg4_dir, release_scope=False, release_dirs=release_dirs)

# NEW:
copy_src_dir_to_dest_dir(source_dir, pkg4_dir, release_scope=False, release_dirs=release_dirs, file_filter=is_release2a_scope)

After Applying Changes

Run validation build with DEB packaging:

cd /home/torsten/sandbox/qt6-migration-pipeline/qt-migration-legatus/qt6-after/qt6-migrated-legatus
./new_docker_build_release2.sh --group1 --group3 --group5 --group6 --build-type Release --deb-package

Verification

After build completes, verify DEB packages contain only Release 2a scope files:

• No svc* directories
• No *Tests directories (except test framework files)
• No LtsElevation
• No AssetManagement
