CI for this repo appears to be permafailing

[phlax]

While attempting to update rules_rust i got a load of errors

after trying various things i realized that its not my change/s that are throwing the errors, the repo is already permafailing

one of the issues is with installing format deps:

Run cargo install cargo-raze --version 0.14.1
    Updating crates.io index
 Downloading crates ...
  Downloaded cargo-raze v0.14.1
  Installing cargo-raze v0.14.1
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to compile `cargo-raze v0.14.1`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-install2Nkuax`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

Caused by:
  failed to select a version for the requirement `cargo_toml = "^0.8.1"`
  candidate versions found which didn't match: 0.19.2, 0.19.1, 0.19.0, ...
  location searched: crates.io index
  required by package `cargo-raze v0.14.1`
  if you are looking for the prerelease package it needs to be specified explicitly
      cargo_toml = { version = "0.19.0-beta.1" }
  perhaps a crate was updated and forgotten to be re-vendored?

macos ci seems to be failing with

not sure if its due to non-hermetic issues or whether specific change/s have caused it - it seems the last few ci runs on the main branch have likewise failed

just spotted #384 re macos fail

ill give bumping bazel and rules_python a go

[lum1n0us]

✋ It seems this issue has been there for months and blocked several PRs. Any updates or plans?

[martijneken]

Yep we're working on it, sorry about the state of affairs.

I sent #398 to fix CI not running. The 2 breakages are tracked by these issues:

• macOS: [CI] macOS builds: "AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'. Did you mean: 'zipimporter'?" #384
• cargo-raze: [CI] cargo-raze is uninstallable abandonware, adopt crate_universe #388

Maybe we can close this issue as dupe?

[phlax]

up to you - i would keep open until the ci wasnt permafailing - ie as a tracking issue
