Static compiled packages option for apt

[153@110110.net]

I’d like Debian to; instead or give the option, to download statically compiled packages through the fedora package manager

That way instead of downloading a ton of packages, they can download one binary compiled against server or maybe even hardened libraries 

A statically compiled binary in unix doesn’t rely on shared libraries, so it’s one big file and I think it works on most unices without porting or recompiling

I would also like everyone to reach out to their favorites distributions and their package managers for their opinion on statically compiled packages on their package managers

I *think* it might be able to save a significant amount of bandwidth distributing stuff like apache or even OpenOffice in static form

(All you need to do is add the ’-static’ option to cc/gcc/llvm)
