gha: don't build binary packages

[efiop]

The build process is much more stable these days and there is no reason to keep building these packages here. Instead every package has itsown building process (dvc-osxpkg, dvc-exe, dvc-s3-repo) and knows best how to build and sign correctly.

pyinstaller hooks need to go into a __pyinstaller later on.

[skshetry]

Let’s get rid of scripts directory altogether.

[efiop]

@skshetry That's the plan, but need to move hooks to __pyinstaller first. Nothing urgent, just didn't want to keep patching timeouts and stuff.

Hi @efiop, the packages were super useful to us to reduce CI times. On macOS, installing DVC via brew takes over 4 minutes, whereas installing the package takes less than 10 seconds.
Is there any other alternative so that the install process is fast?

I was actually coming here to open a PR to generate the apple silicon package as well and was surprised to see the packages gone.

Thanks in advance!

[efiop]

@0xpablo Oh, sorry for the confusion. Those packages were really only meant for testing. We actually build proper packages that are signed and stuff in other repos and they are all available through https://dvc.org/ (see download button, it will give you links like https://dvc.org/download/linux-deb/dvc-3.2.1 that you can use).

The apple package is created in https://github.com/iterative/dvc-osxpkg . Overall, here are the repos:

https://github.com/iterative/dvc-osxpkg
https://github.com/iterative/dvc-exe
https://github.com/iterative/dvc-s3-repo (for deb and rpm)

The first two are private as they have some sensitive keys for signing stuff and I was a bit overly cautious, but since there is demand and you are keen on contributing, I will make them public in a sec (just need to double check I didn't do anything stupid there).

[efiop]

Ugh, need a bit more time than a sec (just missing some things on hand) , will make them public in an hour or so.

[0xpablo]

Thanks for the clarification and support @efiop. Once the macOS one is public I’ll see if I can add support for Apple Silicon. In the meantime I’ll switch to the public downloads and use Rosetta.

Thank you!

@0xpablo All are public now. Regarding the build process, note that we still (temporarily) use https://github.com/iterative/dvc/blob/main/scripts/pyinstaller/build.py to build the "binary" (it is a dir really) and we plan on getting rid of it and moving that logic to corresponding projects. You will likely need to run pyinstaller there in dvc-osxpkg directly because you'll need to specify --target-architecture in either cmdline args or the spec file. Just wanted to note that that is totally expected and no one will object that.

Also, please feel free to create an issue for supporting arm64 in https://github.com/iterative/dvc-osxpkg/issues

@0xpablo If you are still interested in contributing, note that pyinstaller related code is now in dvc-osxpkg https://github.com/iterative/dvc-osxpkg/blob/main/build_bin.py
