# Release Zip Creation Walkthrough

The release zip `sec_interp.zip` has been successfully created and verified.

## Steps Executed
1.  **Requirement Check**:
    *   Verified `metadata.txt` is version 2.0 with changelog.
    *   Verified `LICENSE` file existence.
    *   Checked `Makefile` and `scripts/deploy.sh` for correct deployment logic (whitelist-based copying).
2.  **Zip Generation**:
    *   Ran `make zip`.
        *   This triggered the deployment of files to the QGIS plugins directory.
        *   It then zipped the deployed directory into `sec_interp.zip`.
3.  **Verification**:
    *   Listed zip contents to ensure no `tests/`, `.venv/`, `.git/` or `__pycache__` entries were included.
    *   Confirmed presence of `LICENSE` and `metadata.txt`.

## Output
*   **File**: `sec_interp.zip`
*   **Location**: `/home/jmbernales/qgispluginsdev/sec_interp`
*   **Contents**: Contains the clean plugin structure ready for upload to plugins.qgis.org.

## Next Steps
*   Upload `sec_interp.zip` to the official QGIS plugin repository.
*   Create a GitHub Release and attach the zip.
