feat(drift): package the drift git diff pager 0.0.1 - #580
Merged
Conversation
drift is a Rust TUI pager for `git diff` (MIT, aymanbagabas/drift).
Source is the GitHub tag tarball rather than the gs:// staging mirror,
so cargo resolves crates during the build and the spec declares
`needs = { dns, internet }` -- same shape as starship/zoxide/hunk.
Runtime deps were read off the built binary rather than guessed: it
links only libc, libm and libgcc_s. Notably there is no oniguruma and
no zlib, unlike delta, because syntect is built with the `default-fancy`
feature (pure-Rust fancy-regex). git is a hard runtime dep -- every view
drift renders comes from shelling out to git (src/git.rs).
The upstream release profile already pins lto/codegen-units=1/strip, so
build.sh adds only the --remap-path-prefix flags; two builds from
different paths were verified byte-identical.
