Provide just install and solid default #73

Closed jonhoo closed 4 years ago

jonhoo commented 4 years ago

This removes most of the templates from the repository, and encourages anyone who cannot use the (very opinionated and inflexible) default.yml template to write their own azure-pipelines.yml (probably by copy-pasting from default.yml and hand-tuning) that's based only on the provided install-rust.yml template.

This frees us up from all the pain of trying to maintain configuration parameters for every possible use-case, which still allowing easy setup for most projects.

I'd like to hear opinions on this change before merging though.

This approach should also result in much faster builds, since we'll no longer be compiling the thing again and again in different jobs.

@epage Yeah, the intention behind default.yml is that it is for "standard-looking" crates. That is, no nightly-only features, no weird build steps, single crate, etc. That should, I think, cover like 80% of projects. For anything else, the strategy should be to just copy-paste default.yml (which isn't really that complicated any more) and modify as needed. Part of the reasoning here is that for the remaining 20% of projects, we end up with a plethora of different, subtly different requirements, and we end up in "parameter hell" like we saw in 0.2 :)

Consolidated the docs into README.md (which I think makes sense now that the repo is simpler) and updated them!
