Does the diesel documentation mention how to make staticly linked builds for postgres?

Backend

PostgreSQL

What do you want to add to diesel?

A while back I stumbled across the following guide [1] that documented how to statically build diesel applications the use the postgres backend.

Does the diesel documentation mention how to do this anyplace? I have to admit I tolerated using non-static binaries for an embarrassingly long time thinking that maybe it wasn't possible.

[dependencies]
diesel = { version = "2.3.1", features = [
    "postgres",
    "r2d2",
    "time",
    "chrono",
    "uuid",
    "numeric",
    "network-address",
] }
#### Needed to build static binaries ####
pq-sys = { version = "0.7.2", features = ["bundled"] }
openssl-sys = { version = "0.9.109", features = ["vendored"] }

It's documented here. Also all of the examples are using this: e.g. https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/blob/main/examples/postgres/getting_started_step_1/Cargo.toml#L9-L10

Excellent, Thank you!

(I often post question like this so that the question gets indexed by google; hopefully makes it easier to discover)
