Find all references to the `container.tar.gz` file, and replace them
with references to `container.tar`. Moreover, remove the `--no-save`
argument of `build-image.py` since we now always save the image.
Finally, fix some stale references to Poetry, which are not necessary
anymore.
Vendor the `repro-build` script in our codebase, which will be used to
build our container image in a reproducible manner. We prefer to copy it
verbatim for the time-being, since its interface is not stable enough,
and the repro-build repo is not reviewed after all.
In the future, we want to store this script in a separate place, and
pull it when necessary.

Drop Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) support, because it's nearing its end-of-life
date. By doing so, we can remove several workarounds and notices we had
in place for this version, and most importantly, remove the pin to our
vendored PyMuPDF package.
Refs #1018
Refs #965
Add a dev script for Linux platforms that verifies that a source image
can be reproducibly built from the current Git commit. The
reproducibility check is enforced by the `diffoci` tool, which is
downloaded as part of running the script.
Since Poetry 2.0.0, the `export` command has been removed and it's
advised to use the "poetry-plugin-export" package instead.
This commit adds this dependency to the different places it's needed
(debian environments, CI, build instructions, etc).
This commit makes changes to the release instructions, prefering bash
exemples when that's possible. As a result, the QA.md and RELEASE.md
files have been separated and a new `generate-release-tasks.py` script
is making its apparition.
There are various place in our release process
(build/installation/release instructions and CI checks) where we make
sure that the FPF-maintained PySide6 package works in Fedora 39. Now
that Fedora 39 is nearing its EOL date, we can remove those.
Implement the following steps from the QA docs:
1. Check if the latest Python version that we support is installed. For
example, we currently support Python 3.12, so we add code to check
that the latest Python 3.12.x version is installed.
2. Download the Tesseract data using our script, both on Windows and
Linux.
It seems that the container image for Ubuntu 24.10 also ships with a
default Ubuntu user with UID 1000, so we need to remove it when creating
our dev environment.
Try installing `passt`, which is responsible for user networking in
later Podman releases. If not installed, building the container image
within an Ubuntu 24.10 environment fails with:
setup network: could not find pasta, the network namespace can't be
configured: exec: "pasta": executable file not found in $PATH
Note that this package is not available in older Ubuntu versions. In
these cases, we should swallow installation failures and continue.
As part of this change, the dev (build) and end-user test images names
changed from `dangerzone.rocks/*` to `ghcr.io`.
A new `--sync` option is provided in the `env.py` command, in order to
retrieve the images from the registry, or build and upload otherwise.
Previously, these files where stored inside the repository (under
`dev_scripts/env/`), which could lead to conflicts with some tooling
(black, debian-helper).
(Linux only): as a convenience, here is how to move data to the new
location:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/dangerzone-dev
mv dev_scripts/envs/ ~/.local/share/dangerzone-dev/.
```
As a result, a new `debian` folder is now living in the repository.
Debian packaging is now done manually rather than using tools that do
the heavy-lifting for us.
The `build-deb.py` script has also been updated to use `dpkg-buildpackage`
Update our `env.py` script to auto-detect the correct Dangerzone package
name. This is useful when building an end-user environment, i.e., a
container image where we copy the respective Dangerzone .deb/.rpm
package and install it via a package manager.
To achieve this, we replace the hardcoded patch level (`-1`) in the
package name with a glob character (`*`). Then, we check in the
respective build directory if there's exactly one match for this
pattern. If yes, we return the full path. If not, we raise an exception.
Note that this limitation was triggered when we were building RPM
packages for the 0.7.0 hotfix release.

With the addition of the drag-and-drop QA scenario, the numbering of the
QA steps has changed. Mirror this numbering change in the qa.py script
as well, which tracks which QA scenarios do not apply to Linux
platforms.
Move the documentation on how to create and use containerized Dangerzone
environments under `docs/developer`, which seems like a more natural
place than a README under `dev_scripts/`.

The minimum python version when installing from source is now python
3.9, as Pyside6 6.7.1 dropped support for python 3.8 (see #780 for more
information).
On Debian-derivatives distributions, the minimum Python version is now
set to 3.8. In practice, because Pyside6 is not packaged for Debian, we
use Pyside2 [0], which is why we can relax the python version requirement.
In practice, when installing from source on an environment where
python3.9 is not the default python, poetry will look for it and use it
if available
> For various reasons, this Python version might not be compatible with
> the python range supported by the project. In this case, Poetry will
> try to find one that is and use it.

> [Poetry docs](https://python-poetry.org/docs/managing-environments/)
On Ubuntu Focal (20.04) where Python 3.9 is not installed by default,
it is possible to install it using the `python3.9` package.
Additionally, In version 1.24.3, PyMuPDF changed its package name from `fitz`
to `pymupdf` [2], resulting in a breakage on how it is installed in our
container. This is now fixed.

Bump the PySide6 version used in our user environments to 6.7.1, to
mirror the one we ship to our users, and also fix a segfault issue in
our CI tests.
Refs #801
Inform users that for specific distros and versions, we install some
extra packages (PySide6, conmon), in order to fix some incompatibilities
between Dangerzone and the base system. Provide also a link to the
source / build instructions for the package, as well as any relevant
issues.
Fixes#767
Add a new script called `sign-assets.py`, which produces the hash of all
the Dangerzone assets for a release (Windows/macOS installers, container
image), and signs them individually.
Also update our RELEASE.md document, to incorporate this script into our
release workflow.
The `exit()` [1] function is not necessarily present in every Python
environment, as it's added by the `site` module. Also, this function is
"[...] useful for the interactive interpreter shell and should not be
used in programs"
For this reason, we replace all such occurrences with `sys.exit()` [2],
which is the canonical function to exit Python programs.
