-# Fix cross-crate DEP_* env vars: rules_rust 0.71.x redacts the producer's out_dir
-# to a generic ${out_dir} token in dep env files, but those files are consumed by
-# downstream crates' build scripts whose --out-dir differs, leaving the token
-# unresolved (e.g. libssh2-sys failing to find zlib.h from libz-sys's DEP_Z_INCLUDE).
-# Upstream issue: the 'env files are only consumed by the direct owner' assumption
-# in redact_paths() does not hold for outputs_to_dep_env().
-# Fixed upstream by https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/pull/4124:
-# drop this patch when upgrading to a release that includes it.
