This was a relic of the old bootstrap system, where bootstrapping was in the
context of a parent project that utilized TAME (and so TAME needed to be
built). But that doesn't make sense in the context of TAME itself, and what
_part_ of TAME should be built should be controlled by the project utilizing
it.
This is especially important now that TAMER builds are getting much longer
with the introduction of NIR and its parser-generator.
DEV-7145
RSG (Ryan Specialty Group) recently announced a rename to Ryan Specialty (no
"Group"), but I'm not sure if the legal name has been changed yet or not, so
I'll wait on that.
Cargo's default behavior is unfortunately to issue network calls each time
it is invoke in order to check for dependencies updates. This is not only
bad for reproducibility and privacy, but it's also a concern for supply
chain attacks, since most developers are unaware that this is occurring.
Instead, we pin to the lockfile. Installing dependencies can be done with
`cargo fetch` and updating dependencies must be explicitly done by the
developer, with the lockfile updated.
This now uses year ranges, which I'll update annually.
This also renames "R-T Specialty" to "Ryan Specialty Group". The latter is
the parent company of the former. I was originally employed under the
former when LoVullo Associates was purchased, by I now work for the parent
company.
Please excuse the mess. This was taken from an existing bootstrap script in
a private repository; it can be cleaned up in the future.
* bootstrap: New file.
* README.md (Getting Started): New section.
