upgpkg: 1:0.20.0-2: Refactor build to reduce installed size by 90%
Package tarball with bundled source and dependencies during build instead of
using the tarball distributed from npmjs.org. Running upstream's bundling script
de-duplicates dependencies and ensures we don't install unused code and project
files. This reduces the installed size of gemini-cli by 90%:
Packages (1) gemini-cli-1:0.20.0-2
Total Installed Size: 28.50 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: -277.75 MiB
Packaging from Git source and producing an installable archive with 'npm pack'
also has the following additional benefits:
- Downloading of dependencies now occurs in prepare() and internet access is not
needed in any other build step.
- Dependencies are downloaded with the '--ignore-scripts' options, mitigating
malicious life cycle scripts in dependencies. This was the vector used by the
recent supply-chain attacks on the NPM registry, Shai-Hulud version 1 and 2.
