Mamba build suddenly didnt want to work anymore and so we had to switch to a different strategy (statically linked musl libc builds). I have a plan to potentially bring them back but it will require some research and some trial and error. Bringing back working builds seemed of more immediate importance.

I have seen the discussion. But the zip build will be the same workflow with pyinstaller --one-dir, no? Sure, fixing it is not a priority, but I thought it'd be trivial

Here is a good overview of what staticx does: JonathonReinhart/staticx#239 (comment)
It works similarly to pyinstaller --onefile; it's just another layer of bundling on top with some RPATH+INTERP special sauce. The maintainer also says here that it's not possible to use staticx with pyinstaller --onedir builds, so we would need to get very inventive to prove them wrong(?)

On that note, I think the static exe is a bit problematic since we are doubling the startup time and /tmp usage. I want to try replacing the linux_arm job with a CentOS 7 build flow; if that's successful, and if we can't find a way to optimize the static exe, then maybe we could build the linux_exe using the CentOS 7 framework as well.
And exclude custom formats that would require custom live downloaders
