This allows more freedom than using releases from PyPI. (atm there is no released version that fixes https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/6701 ) Also, we now build the pyinstaller bootloader, just like in the windows build: one fewer binary blob to trust.
Notes
The frozen dependency lists in this folder are generated files.
- Starting from
contrib/requirements/requirements*.txt, - we use the
contrib/freeze_packages.shscript, - to generate
contrib/deterministic-build/requirements*.txt.
The source files list direct dependencies with loose version requirements, while the output files list all transitive dependencies with exact version+hash pins.
The build scripts only use these hash pinned requirement files.
