Linking error for diesel_cli in Alpine despite libraries being installed about diesel

@peasee As this is a free time project we generally do not give any ETA for releases other than "when it's done". You can help making this happen faster by either contributing fixes for the remaining issues marked as release blocker or by funding the development.

Thanks for opening this bug report. This seems to be a duplicate of sgrif/pq-sys#27, therefore I'm closing this in favor of the other bug.

That's nearly correct. It doesn't fix statically linking the system provided libraries, as we do not have a good way to detect which libraries are actually needed. It instead provides a "bundled" feature flag that allows to build a defined version of libpq from source and statically links that version. In that way we have the required knowlegde about all the dependencies.

@weiznich do you have any timeline for the next diesel release? I've updated my Cargo.toml to pull master from the git directly which works well, but would love to pin against the released version.

To quickly elaborate, if I understand correctly, this has been fixed in pg-sys 0.5.0, which the current main branch of diesel already supports and will therefore be available in diesel's next release. Thanks alot and keep up the good work 😊
