Description
The installation of the Python package "cryptography" into ish invokes the Rust compiler to build an installable package from the source archive of the package. That compilation fails with an error that may be caused by some changed data structures in the Rust/Cargo project files. I have opened issue https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/11475 which confirmed that rust 1.52 is too old for the package. I tried to install older versions of the cryptography package hoping that the older version of rust would be sufficient, with no success.
The latest version of Rust that is available for installation into ish using apk is 1.52.1, but the latest version of Rust on its upstream repo is 1.80.0.
Could you please update the rust and cargo packages for ish to a more recent version?
