Subject: Install matching set of software while preserving aptitude
auto/manual install info
Hi All,
I'd like to 'clone' the installed software on a machine. I can find
lots of references to this procedure
> Backup installed package list on current machine dpkg --get-selections
> > selections.txt move selections.txt to the new machine Set package
> list on new machine and install packages dpkg --set-selections <
> selections.txt apt-get update apt-get upgrade
What I can't find, but I know I've seen, is a way to do it using aptitude
that preserves aptitude's knowledge of what was installed manually vs
automatically.
Can someone throw me a link (or a cluestick)
Brian
