Lars Wirzenius c4bb071a95 feat! drop support for limiting the duration of a CI run
This adapter is only ever run by the Radicle CI broker, and that can
now limit CI run duration itself. Thus having this adapter do it too
is pointless duplication.

Further, this removes the run time dependency on an external "timeout"
command, which turns out not to be portable: it isn't available on
Macs, by default.

# radicle-native-ci
This is an adapter for the [Radicle CI broker], for performing CI runs
locally. This means it reads a JSON message from its stdin, and writes
two JSON messages to its stdout. Its configured via a configuration
file specified in the `RADICLE_NATIVE_CI` environment variable. There
is currently no logging.
The CI run is performed locally, without any isolation. This is not
safe and secure, but it's simple, and easy to get working. Do not use
this unless you trust the repository and its dependencies.
The repository must contain a file `./radicle/native.yaml` that
specifies how CI is run for the repository. For example:
```yaml
shell: |
cargo test --locked --workspace
```
[Radicle CI broker]: https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/radicle.liw.fi/rad:zwTxygwuz5LDGBq255RA2CbNGrz8
This crate also includes the program `rad-ci`, which runs the commands
the adapter runs when invoked by the CI broker. To use: install it on
your `$PATH` (using `cargo install`) and run:
```sh
rad ci
```
This will read `.radicle/native.yaml` and run the shell commands
specified there.
(No command line arguments or options needed, nor any environment
variables for this.)
## Architecture
See the [documentation](doc) directory for an architecture document.
## Configuration
The adapter requires the `RADICLE_NATIVE_CI` environment variable to
be set to the filename of a configuration file in YAML. For example:
~~~yaml
base_url: https://ci.example.org/state
state: /srv/http
log: /home/_rad/native-ci.log
~~~
The fields are:
* `base_url` --- base URL for build logs (mandatory for access from CI broker page)
* `state` --- required, directory where per-run directories are stored
* `log` --- required, file where native CI should write a log
## Packaging
There is simple, simplistic, rudimentary, personal-use-only packaging
for Debian in the `debian` directory, used by Lars to build packages
for his own use.
## Running tests
To run the test suite for the CI broker:
~~~sh
cargo test
~~~
(The usual way, for a Rust program.)
Also, there is `.radicle/native.yaml` for testing this with itself in
Radicle CI. You may want to run those manually.
