Thomas Eizinger c51cf096ae build(rust): avoid unnecessary rebuilds (#6321)
Parsing the current Git version within `firezone-bin-shared` means this
crate (and all its dependents) need to be rebuilt everytime one makes a
commit, even if none of the code actually changes.

To avoid this whilst still allowing `firezone-bin-shared` to export a
useful, shared function, we export a macro instead that can be called
from the respective crates that need the GIT version. This means only
those binaries will be marked as dirty and rebuilds of e.g. unit tests
don't need to rebuild these workspace crates.

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.
