Re: aptitude program list

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

Better generate such a list with aptitude itself which allows to exclude
automatically installed packages

  aptitude -F "%p" '~i!~M' > list_of_packages_manually_installed

That will preserve which packages are installed automatically.
Then on another machine command

  aptitude install $(cat list_of_packages_manually_installed)

This will give some warnings about already installed packages which can be
ignored. Or remove these package names from the list.
