[Bug]: remove dependency on rattler_installs_packages (fails on windows)

[peakschris]

What happened?

The rust package rattler_installs_packages fails to build on windows due to various path too long issues

Error in fail: Command ["D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/external/rules_rust++cu_nr+cargo_bazel_bootstrap/cargo-bazel", "splice", "--output-dir", "D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/modextwd/rules_rust++crate/crate_index/splicing-output", "--splicing-manifest", "D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/modextwd/rules_rust++crate/crate_index/splicing_manifest.json", "--config", "D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/modextwd/rules_rust++crate/crate_index/config.json", "--repository-name", "crate_index", "--cargo-lockfile", "D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/external/aspect_rules_py+/Cargo.lock", "--cargo", "D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/external/rules_rust++rust_host_tools+rust_host_tools/bin/cargo.exe", "--rustc", "D:/udu/b/gpt7lqzm/external/rules_rust++rust_host_tools+rust_host_tools/bin/rustc.exe"] failed with exit code 1.

Any other information?

The actual problem is that we aren't shipping windows prebuilt artifacts and this ruleset has no official windows support or testing.

[peakschris]

I'm working on a PR for windows support; but this is one of the key issues. Actually what I discovered is that the problem is only the .snap files used for unit tests within rattler_installs_packages (they have extremely long path names) and if you remove these then the issue goes away. I have created a hacked rip repo as a workaround for my PR; maybe there is a better way of pulling it whilst stripping those files

[arrdem]

Oh interesting!

Upgrading the uv we depend on and dropping rip entirely are both on the to do list, it's all sorta blocked behind addressing ditching WORKSPACE for MODULE.bazel for good since upgrading dependencies pre-bzlmod is so painful.
