cargo update

[extrawurst]

updating a few major dependencies is blocked right now by the ecosystem taking its time to follow the new major versions of syn and bitflags. and minor versions of regex-syntax, redox_syscall.

syn

as it seems we have to wait for a few remaining crates to release new versions:

• struct-patch-derive (using old syn): https://github.com/yanganto/struct-patch/issues/19
  • it uses proc-macro-error which has no support for syn2 merged&released yet: https://gitlab.com/CreepySkeleton/proc-macro-error/-/merge_requests/36
• bugreport which in turn requires git-version (using old syn): https://github.com/fusion-engineering/rust-git-version/pull/20
  • or alternatively: https://github.com/sharkdp/bugreport/issues/13
• chrono -> iana-time-zone -> iana-time-zone-haiku (v0.1.1) which still depends transitively on syn1 via cxx-build: https://github.com/strawlab/iana-time-zone/pull/110

regex-syntax ✅

• syntect (using old regex-syntax): https://github.com/trishume/syntect/issues/486

redox_syscall

• shellexpand in turn using redox_users used by (using old redox_syscall): https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/users/-/merge_requests/36
• notify using filetime (redox_syscall): https://github.com/alexcrichton/filetime/issues/98
  • bump in notify: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/pull/521
  • new notify release: https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/513

bitflags

• ron (bitflags): https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/issues/469
• notify (bitflags): https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/issues/513
• crossterm (bitflags): https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/issues/807
• git2 (bitflags): https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/issues/976
• syntect: https://github.com/trishume/syntect/pull/490

help needed:

• redox_syscall itself does not support working with bitflags 2.x: redox_syscall (MR needed)

plus our very own:

• usage of dirs-next: https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/pull/1783

[yanganto]

struct-patch-derive already use syn2 after 0.3.0 release

[extrawurst]

ok i will merge this now and add the two remaining exceptions to unblock a lot of other work. the two exceptions are bitflags and itertools
