Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-12 00:41:10 UTC

Since a restore(8) of an appropriate version is nearly never available on any
rescue disk whatsoever, it would be a nice gesture to make it be linked
statically. Then one could simply copy it somewhere and use it when necessary...

what package provides this ? 
we should just add support for the static USE flag to said package

root@rux0r dump # env USE=static emerge dump 
<portage emerges dump> 
root@rux0r dump # ldd `which restore`
