github-action 'r-ci'

This action sets up r-ci for an action running Ubuntu 'latest' (or a versioned Ubuntu, or 'macos-latest') by fetching its (portable, not specific to GitHub Actions) script run.sh and making it executable. It was initially written for Ubuntu 22.04 aka 'jammy' but works equally for Ubuntu 24.04 aka 'noble' and Ubuntu 26.04 aka 'resolute', as well with for 'macOS-latest'.

This version builds on the predecessor 'r-ci-setup' and includes the commonly-following 'bootstrap' step for an all-in 'r-ci' preparation including setup and bootstrap.

Options

This action takes two optional inputs:

• dev_version can be selected to fetch dev_run.sh instead of run.sh (but note that dev_run.sh is frequently identical to run.sh; if not this option makes testing easy),

• backend to pick BSPM (the default in run.sh) or RAPT for binary package installation from r2u
