Re: Backups and the distribution
Willi Dyck had interesting trick. I knew --get-selections but did not
use it with apt-get. I would do slightly different but this concept is
interesting.
# dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | cut -s -f1 >installed.deb
# cat installed.db | xargs -n 10 apt-get install -d
Oh your Willi's vi actions can be |tr '\n' ' '>installed.deb
.... But xarg makes this not needed.
