because.. yeah, I mean you’re only downloading one or two packages vs
downloading up to 20 sometimes 700 packages at a time. This saves resources !!
But yeah, there is a huge overhead when it comes to downloading statically
packages, along with running the binaries.. along with redownloading if it
fails.
i figure if OpenOffice, for example, has 700 dependencies, and instead of 700
different processes dedicated to downloading, a single process dedicated to
downloading a large binary with all the dependencies compiled directly into the
binary could in fact save bandwidth and possibly network resources, along with
local and remote resources
I figure 80mb of a static package is just as good as 50mb of shared packages,
maybe even more..
I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve here. Is it apt and
dpkg taking time to `apt upgrade`?
You can try apt's Merged Optimised Objects. But run the checker first.
$ apt moo check
