First, make the script versioning system able to detect release candidates.
Otherwise, we willn't be able to use the "GIMP.GIMPPreview" identity (that
was previously tied to GIMP_UNSTABLE var, which is not set to 1 on RCs).
---
This also fixes the pseudo-revision trick when we have a zeroed micro version,
which is the case of the release candidates and the first stable version.
The versioning now have a different aproach from 8c99efd7.
This makes the bundling script an "extension" of the building script, similar
to what Cmake-based projects does on Windows. By the way, this is inline with
the recent changes which clarified that bundling is just a finalization of the
building process when a bundle is aimed. See: d09a2a6f, 2dc6f411 and 9d86492b
The original script required a specific WinSDK version. Now, it autodetects.
This is useful if we need to move to another runner and welcome locally too.
Also, downloading the arm64 artifact was mandatory to get a x64 msix, which
is silly. Now, packagers are free to package to either arm64 or x64 alone.
This is useful locally but could be useful on CI too when some arch fail(?).
The ARTIFACTS_SUFFIX is being dropped on building scripts because:
1) This will make possible to further simplify Installer scripts in other commit
2) There is no script that uses multi-arch _build/_install at same time on CI
However, there are two use cases: to build Debian and flatpak; and, on Win,
to build on CLANGARM64 and CLANG64 (?). But probably they are pretty niche.
I suppose that people who build on Debian (or other dev-oriented distro)
willn't want to mantain deps in two sys prefixes (pkg and GNOME runtime)
+ two gimp prefixes (out of sandbox and sandbox) due to huge storage use.
Why someone would want to build with emulation on Win ARM64 I don't know.
Anyway, people that know how to do this stuff probably can change the .sh.
3) When building locally, the contributor doesn't need to know the arch at all.
Indeed, without this suffix, the scripts are inline with gimp-web-devel and
prevent some first-sight confusion when reading them that I've seen on IRC.
4) These arch suffixes can be understood as '_install-*' being distributable
which is not true. So, without this suffix we could make more clear
what is a package (when GitLab fix the glob bug in 'expose_as' someday).

Despite .gitlab-ci.yml not being a script, it needed to be touched too
because cross scripts depends on Debian jobs due to gimp-data MR.
The numbering is now inline with actual the order of jobs on CI
to make easier to understand what the numbers represent.
To understand why bundling is number 2 see: d09a2a6f and 2dc6f411
The storing of Windows scripts was changed to make easier to
call them, to better convey that they work outside CI and
to be consistent with other build/ subdirectories.
This reverts commit 085d8a02b5.
For some reason, Windows doesn't allow us to use that feature
(confirmed this after using the version from the Store itself,
not the .msixbundle)
Port all plug-ins to retrieve the layers
directly from the image rather than
having them passed in. This resolves some
issues with introspection and sets the
foundation for future API work.
Without this, Partner Center refuses the .MSIX by not matching the
entry Identity and DisplayName (which isn't the same as the stable).
Also, rework the naming of the .msix's to be more Microsoft-ish
Creating a temporary config directory for the in-build GIMP (run as a tool or
for unit-testing) is not done as a build target anymore, but in the
in-build-gimp.sh script as a unique temp directory, then cleaned out on exit.
This has a few advantages:
- It is properly cleaned out once the build ends (instead of leaving a full
config dir as trash inside the build dir).
- It is not reused from one build to another (with risk of carrying bugs and
issues over).
- Every use of the in-build GIMP will have its own config directory, and in
particular when they are called in parallel.
As a side update, make sure that all `gimp_exe` runs depend on
`gimp_exe_depends`.
Attribute uap4:ShellNewFileName is meant as a template file to be copied when
someone initiate the Shell "New" command (via the Explorer context menu).
Most of the work in this commit is by @Jehan.
These icons are used only by the .msix (MS Store) distribution of GIMP.
Some legacy icons are used only by Windows 10 and need to have smaller logo
than full image dimensions, so let's not use colorsvg2png. We just pass the
dimensions to use by configuring variants of the same base script.
Adds PowerShell script and proper manifest for making .msixupload
(only for releases) and/or .msixbundle (always, for testing).
As authorized by Jehan, 32-bit willn't be supported. The reasons are:
1. 32-bit is going to die when WIA plug-in is done. This can hurt reviews
2. 32-bit is being restricted in ARM64 version. This causes disparity
3. 32-bit is generating a big footprint. "This is bad for the environment"
To be clear: we are discarding most of 32-bit artifact (see point 1)
and what could not (TWAIN for x64 only, point 2) almost doubles .msix.
There is one small circumstantial reason too:
4. 32-bit wouldn't have .pdb even after GCC 14 because bins have same name
as x64, and MS don't allow multiarch debug symbols in the same .appxsym
