docs: Update the release instructions

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.
Update QA script to support Fedora 41

+## QA
+
+To ensure that new releases do not introduce regressions, and support existing
+and newer platforms, we have to test that the produced packages work as expected.
+
+Check the following:
+
+- [ ] Make sure that the tip of the `main` branch passes the CI tests.
+- [ ] Make sure that the Apple account has a valid application password and has
+      agreed to the latest Apple terms (see [macOS release](#macos-release)
+      section).
+
+Because it is repetitive, we wrote a script to help with the QA.
+It can run the tasks for you, pausing when it needs manual intervention.
+
+You can run it with a command like:
+
+```bash
+poetry run ./dev_scripts/qa.py {distro}-{version}
+```
+
+### The checklist
+

+    the new image.
+  - [ ] Download the OCR language data using `./install/common/download-tessdata.py`

+- [ ] Create a test build in macOS (M1/2 CPU) and make sure it works:
+  - [ ] Check if the suggested Python version is still supported.
+  - [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
+  - [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
+    the new image.
+  - [ ] Download the OCR language data using `./install/common/download-tessdata.py`
+  - [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
+  - [ ] Create and run an app bundle.
+  - [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
+- [ ] Create a test build in the most recent Ubuntu LTS platform (Ubuntu 24.04
+  as of writing this) and make sure it works:
+  - [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
+  - [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
+    the new image.
+  - [ ] Download the OCR language data using `./install/common/download-tessdata.py`
+  - [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
+  - [ ] Create a .deb package and install it system-wide.
+  - [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
+- [ ] Create a test build in the most recent Fedora platform (Fedora 41 as of
+  writing this) and make sure it works:
+  - [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
+  - [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
+    the new image.
+  - [ ] Download the OCR language data using `./install/common/download-tessdata.py`
+  - [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
+  - [ ] Create an .rpm package and install it system-wide.
+  - [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
+- [ ] Create a test build in the most recent Qubes Fedora template (Fedora 40 as
+  of writing this) and make sure it works:
+  - [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
+  - [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
+  - [ ] Create a Qubes .rpm package and install it system-wide.
+  - [ ] Ensure that the Dangerzone application appears in the "Applications"
+    tab.
+  - [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below) and make sure
+    they spawn disposable qubes.
+
+### Scenarios
+
+#### 1. Dangerzone correctly identifies that Docker/Podman is not installed
+
+_(Only for MacOS / Windows)_
+
+Temporarily hide the Docker/Podman binaries, e.g., rename the `docker` /
+`podman` binaries to something else. Then run Dangerzone. Dangerzone should
+prompt the user to install Docker/Podman.
+
+#### 2. Dangerzone correctly identifies that Docker is not running
+
+_(Only for MacOS / Windows)_
+
+Stop the Docker Desktop application. Then run Dangerzone. Dangerzone should
+prompt the user to start Docker Desktop.
+
+
+#### 3. Updating Dangerzone handles external state correctly.
+
+_(Applies to Windows/MacOS)_
+
+Install the previous version of Dangerzone, downloaded from the website.
+
+Open the Dangerzone application and enable some non-default settings.
+**If there are new settings, make sure to change those as well**.
+
+Close the Dangerzone application and get the container image for that
+version. For example:
+
+```
+$ docker images dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:latest
+REPOSITORY                   TAG         IMAGE ID      CREATED       SIZE
+dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone  latest      <image ID>    <date>        <size>
+```
+
+Then run the version under QA and ensure that the settings remain changed.
+
+Afterwards check that new docker image was installed by running the same command
+and seeing the following differences:
+
+```
+$ docker images dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:latest
+REPOSITORY                   TAG         IMAGE ID        CREATED       SIZE
+dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone  latest      <different ID>  <newer date>  <different size>
+```
+
+#### 4. Dangerzone successfully installs the container image
+
+_(Only for Linux)_
+
+Remove the Dangerzone container image from Docker/Podman. Then run Dangerzone.
+Dangerzone should install the container image successfully.
+
+#### 5. Dangerzone retains the settings of previous runs
+
+Run Dangerzone and make some changes in the settings (e.g., change the OCR
+language, toggle whether to open the document after conversion, etc.). Restart
+Dangerzone. Dangerzone should show the settings that the user chose.
+
+#### 6. Dangerzone reports failed conversions
+
+Run Dangerzone and convert the `tests/test_docs/sample_bad_pdf.pdf` document.
+Dangerzone should fail gracefully, by reporting that the operation failed, and
+showing the following error message:
+
+> The document format is not supported
+
+#### 7. Dangerzone succeeds in converting multiple documents
+
+Run Dangerzone against a list of documents, and tick all options. Ensure that:
+* Conversions take place sequentially.
+* Attempting to close the window while converting asks the user if they want to
+  abort the conversions.
+* Conversions are completed successfully.
+* Conversions show individual progress in real-time (double-check for Qubes).
+* _(Only for Linux)_ The resulting files open with the PDF viewer of our choice.
+* OCR seems to have detected characters in the PDF files.
+* The resulting files have been saved with the proper suffix, in the proper
+  location.
+* The original files have been saved in the `unsafe/` directory.
+
+#### 8. Dangerzone is able to handle drag-n-drop
+
+Run Dangerzone against a set of documents that you drag-n-drop. Files should be
+added and conversion should run without issue.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> On our end-user container environments for Linux, we can start a file manager
+> with `thunar &`.
+
+#### 9. Dangerzone CLI succeeds in converting multiple documents
+
+_(Only for Windows and Linux)_
+
+Run Dangerzone CLI against a list of documents. Ensure that conversions happen
+sequentially, are completed successfully, and we see their progress.
+
+#### 10. Dangerzone can open a document for conversion via right-click -> "Open With"
+
+_(Only for Windows, MacOS and Qubes)_
+
+Go to a directory with office documents, right-click on one, and click on "Open
+With". We should be able to open the file with Dangerzone, and then convert it.
+
+#### 11. Dangerzone shows helpful errors for setup issues on Qubes
+
+_(Only for Qubes)_
+
+Check what errors does Dangerzone throw in the following scenarios. The errors
+should point the user to the Qubes notifications in the top-right corner:
+
+1. The `dz-dvm` template does not exist. We can trigger this scenario by
+   temporarily renaming this template.
+2. The Dangerzone RPC policy does not exist. We can trigger this scenario by
+   temporarily renaming the `dz.Convert` policy.

-Dangerzone works like this: You give it a document that you don't know if you can trust (for example, an email attachment). Inside of a sandbox, Dangerzone converts the document to a PDF (if it isn't already one), and then converts the PDF into raw pixel data: a huge list of RGB color values for each page. Then, in a separate sandbox, Dangerzone takes this pixel data and converts it back into a PDF.

-### Scenarios
-
-#### 1. Dangerzone correctly identifies that Docker/Podman is not installed
-
-_(Only for MacOS / Windows)_
-
-Temporarily hide the Docker/Podman binaries, e.g., rename the `docker` /
-`podman` binaries to something else. Then run Dangerzone. Dangerzone should
-prompt the user to install Docker/Podman.
-
-#### 2. Dangerzone correctly identifies that Docker is not running
-
-_(Only for MacOS / Windows)_
-
-Stop the Docker Desktop application. Then run Dangerzone. Dangerzone should
-prompt the user to start Docker Desktop.
-
-
-#### 3. Updating Dangerzone handles external state correctly.
-
-_(Applies to Windows/MacOS)_
-
-Install the previous version of Dangerzone, downloaded from the website.
-
-Open the Dangerzone application and enable some non-default settings.
-**If there are new settings, make sure to change those as well**.
-
-Close the Dangerzone application and get the container image for that
-version. For example:
-
-```
-$ docker images dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:latest
-REPOSITORY                   TAG         IMAGE ID      CREATED       SIZE
-dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone  latest      <image ID>    <date>        <size>
-```
-
-Then run the version under QA and ensure that the settings remain changed.
-
-Afterwards check that new docker image was installed by running the same command
-and seeing the following differences:
-
-```
-$ docker images dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:latest
-REPOSITORY                   TAG         IMAGE ID        CREATED       SIZE
-dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone  latest      <different ID>  <newer date>  <different size>
-```
-
-#### 4. Dangerzone successfully installs the container image
-
-_(Only for Linux)_
-
-Remove the Dangerzone container image from Docker/Podman. Then run Dangerzone.
-Dangerzone should install the container image successfully.
-
-#### 5. Dangerzone retains the settings of previous runs
-
-Run Dangerzone and make some changes in the settings (e.g., change the OCR
-language, toggle whether to open the document after conversion, etc.). Restart
-Dangerzone. Dangerzone should show the settings that the user chose.
-
-#### 6. Dangerzone reports failed conversions
-
-Run Dangerzone and convert the `tests/test_docs/sample_bad_pdf.pdf` document.
-Dangerzone should fail gracefully, by reporting that the operation failed, and
-showing the following error message:
-
-> The document format is not supported
-
-#### 7. Dangerzone succeeds in converting multiple documents
-
-Run Dangerzone against a list of documents, and tick all options. Ensure that:
-* Conversions take place sequentially.
-* Attempting to close the window while converting asks the user if they want to
-  abort the conversions.
-* Conversions are completed successfully.
-* Conversions show individual progress in real-time (double-check for Qubes).
-* _(Only for Linux)_ The resulting files open with the PDF viewer of our choice.
-* OCR seems to have detected characters in the PDF files.
-* The resulting files have been saved with the proper suffix, in the proper
-  location.
-* The original files have been saved in the `unsafe/` directory.
-
-#### 8. Dangerzone is able to handle drag-n-drop
-
-Run Dangerzone against a set of documents that you drag-n-drop. Files should be
-added and conversion should run without issue.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> On our end-user container environments for Linux, we can start a file manager
-> with `thunar &`.
-
-#### 9. Dangerzone CLI succeeds in converting multiple documents
-
-_(Only for Windows and Linux)_
-
-Run Dangerzone CLI against a list of documents. Ensure that conversions happen
-sequentially, are completed successfully, and we see their progress.
-
-#### 10. Dangerzone can open a document for conversion via right-click -> "Open With"
-
-_(Only for Windows, MacOS and Qubes)_
-
-Go to a directory with office documents, right-click on one, and click on "Open
-With". We should be able to open the file with Dangerzone, and then convert it.
-
-#### 11. Dangerzone shows helpful errors for setup issues on Qubes
-
-_(Only for Qubes)_
-
-Check what errors does Dangerzone throw in the following scenarios. The errors
-should point the user to the Qubes notifications in the top-right corner:
-
-1. The `dz-dvm` template does not exist. We can trigger this scenario by
-   temporarily renaming this template.
-2. The Dangerzone RPC policy does not exist. We can trigger this scenario by
-   temporarily renaming the `dz.Convert` policy.
-3. The `dz-dvm` disposable Qube cannot start due to insufficient resources. We
-   can trigger this scenario by temporarily increasing the minimum required RAM
-   of the `dz-dvm` template to more than the available amount.
-

-  * You must run this command from the MacOS UI, from a terminal application.
- [ ] Notarize it: `xcrun notarytool submit --wait --apple-id "<email>" --keychain-profile "dz-notarytool-release-key" dist/Dangerzone.dmg`
-  * You need to change the `<email>` in the above command with the email
-    associated with the Apple Developer ID.
-  * This command assumes that you have created, and stored in the Keychain, an
-    application password associated with your Apple Developer ID, which will be
-    used specifically for `notarytool`.
- [ ] Wait for it to get approved:
-  * If it gets rejected, you should be able to see why with the same command
-    (or use the `log` option for a more verbose JSON output)

 CONTENT_QA = r"""## QA

 To ensure that new releases do not introduce regressions, and support existing
-and newer platforms, we have to do the following:
+and newer platforms, we have to test that the produced packages work as expected.
+
+Check the following:

 - [ ] Make sure that the tip of the `main` branch passes the CI tests.
 - [ ] Make sure that the Apple account has a valid application password and has
      agreed to the latest Apple terms (see [macOS release](#macos-release)
      section).
+
+Because it is repetitive, we wrote a script to help with the QA.
+It can run the tasks for you, pausing when it needs manual intervention.
+
+You can run it with a command like:
+
+```bash
+poetry run ./dev_scripts/qa.py {distro}-{version}
+```
+
+### The checklist
+
 - [ ] Create a test build in Windows and make sure it works:
  - [ ] Check if the suggested Python version is still supported.
  - [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
  - [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
    the new image.

Alex Pyrgiotis	82c29b2098	Make README.md point to INSTALL.md for instructions Our repo's README.md should point to our INSTALL.md for installation instructions, and not the other way around. This fixes an issue with INSTALL.md pointing to a stale README.md version. Updating our README before tagging is not possible, since the latest version is the one that our users visit, and it can't point to download links that do not exist. Fixes #1003	2024-11-21 18:55:33 +02:00
Alex Pyrgiotis	ce5aca4ba1	dev_scripts: Implement two more steps 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.	2024-11-21 18:29:43 +02:00

Alex Pyrgiotis	57df6fdfe5	Increase the size of the `dz` qube to 5GiB Increase the size of the `dz` qube in our build instructions. We increase it from 2GiB (default), to 5GiB (suggested), in order to cater for some extra space that our build instructions need (e.g., the download of the Tesseract data).	2024-11-21 18:29:43 +02:00
