Building in the cloud the dot, whl and slim versions

Goal: from current local build chain, do a cloud build chain for "dot" and "whl"

Step1:

ask AI to translate current build steps in the cloud:
- preparing the structure
- finding a initial python install, an option is uv standalones
- puting it in the structure
- adding complements
- zipping result,
- having result downloadable.
see the rough edges to solve trying to do so
resolve problems

Step2:

iterate

my goodness:

success to something: https://github.com/winpython/winpython/actions/runs/16960157242

so it gives:

a "WinPython-dot-3.13.zip" artefact,
that contains "WinPython-dot-3.13.zip",
that contains "python" ,
that contains

but at this cloud stage we were good .... except no pip.exe...

with build #12 the structure looks there:

with build #13, pip is upgraded

with build #16 , we still miss:

env.ini
wppm --movable, that may not work in utf8 place
publication, of .7z of auto-extract

so far, no use of:

build_winpython_meta.py :
- launch a build
- MISSING: to create several build with a toml parameter
build_winpython.py:
- to log events: github actions does it
- to generate lockfiles... well it's done on local, but using a hashed requirement output from local as directive
- todo: regenerating lock and requirements-with-has, can be down in cloud
- MISSING: generate all types of artefacts, can be done in the cloud
- MISSING: manual or automatic in a release ?
make.py:
- creation of infrastructure is done via the .yaml
- MISSING: env.ini declarative part

env.ini is there at build #26 ... so that dotcloud is apparently complete

so now, verification time on our anti-virus friends.
there is a new NANO-antivirus that has decided he was no loving WinPython : past or future.

new auto-extract 7z.exe are not liked per the tiny guys, for now.

one day later after iniital cloud build submission, on final b3 cloud builds:

bkav-pro is now always happy of the cloud build switch
Trapmine, who only manage .exe, is never happy on .exe
Securage who only manage .exe, is never happy on small .exe but ok on the big .exe
.7z an .zip are all good

so:

being out of bkav-pro red is nice
... anti-virus don't like novelty day 1, but calm down a bit day 2, as usual.

new Cloud build method is:

reproducible per anyone, ZERO requirement but a github account
hash-256 checks based.

In the process:

copilote free plan was hit very quickly
perplexity was interesting
gemini flash was used to finish,
starting to hear about whatsapp ai
keep hearing preference for openai, from humans I cross and who do pay
Dylan Patel of semi-analysis is the AI commentator of these times

all "published" build will now be done in the cloud, as slim and free versions were finally able to fit.
