DEB Package Manifest

Expected Packages (Release 2a Scope)

1. guez-release2-core

Description: Core DDS and foundation libraries
Contents:

• ddscore
• svcCoreClient
• ddsftccore
• ddsfts
• NGL foundation libraries

2. guez-release2-dds

Description: DDS connector and QoS libraries
Contents:

• ddsconnector
• ddsQoS
• ddsgen

3. guez-release2-tools

4. guez-release2-dev

Description: Development headers and CMake configs
Contents:

• Header files for all libraries
• CMake configuration files
• pkg-config files

Release 2a Scope Filtering

Excluded Components (Confirmed)

• ❌ svcAesClient, svcAesCommon, svcAlertService, ... (37 svc* services)
• ❌ NGL*Tests executables (test directories)
• ❌ GrantleeTests, QmlTests
• ❌ LtsElevation (depends on excluded AssetManagement)
• ❌ AssetManagement module

Filter Implementation

The is_release2a_scope() function in make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.py excludes:

- svc* directories (except svcCoreClient)
- *Tests directories (except GrantleeTests, QmlTests)
- LtsElevation
- AssetManagement

Validation Steps

1. Package Existence Check

ls -lh /tmp/packages-out/
# Expected: 4 .deb files

2. Package Contents Verification

dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-core*.deb
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-dds*.deb
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-tools*.deb
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-dev*.deb

3. Exclusion Verification

# Verify no svc* services (except svcCoreClient) in packages
dpkg -c *.deb | grep -E "svc[A-Z]" | grep -v svcCoreClient
# Expected: No results

# Verify no test executables
dpkg -c *.deb | grep -i "test"
# Expected: No results (except test headers if included in -dev)

4. Dependency Check

dpkg -I /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-*.deb
# Verify dependencies on external packages (Qt6, RTI DDS, etc.)

Known Issues and Resolutions

Resolved During Release 2a

1. LtsSession dependency chain: Added LtsMultiMonitor and PluginInterfaces to scope
2. Target name casing: Fixed ddsview (lowercase) and ngl_codegen
3. DEB packaging paths: Fixed /workspace → ${DOCKER_MOUNT_ROOT}
4. log_error() function: Added to Docker inline script with proper quote escaping
5. Release 2a filter: Applied is_release2a_scope() to exclude out-of-scope files

Expected Warnings

• Missing include directories for excluded modules (AssetManagement, etc.) - harmless
• CTest failures for test executables not built in Release 2a scope - expected

Conclusion

[To be completed after build validation]
