I would like to share my current work. yesterday I worked on this concept and now i have zeroth version. basically, I am just showing the idea, want to take comment and will modify script accordingly.
Basically, I have installed ubuntu more then 10 times in last 10 month. I hate again and again installation of software. So basic idea of deb_bundle is to create a .zip files to .deb files which you need to for installing a perticular software = purpose = * This will help to user those who do not have Internet = what is bundle = * It is a zip files contains many .deb files, for example vboxgtk.deb_bundle will be containing all the necessary and dependant files init. So you can actually download vboxgtk.deb_bundle files and install it instead of going to synaptic packages manager = How to create bundle = $ ./Bundle_Creator <packages> EX $ ./Bundle_Creator vboxgtk virtualbox-guest-additions this will download all necessary files and packages into single files called vboxgtk.deb_bundle = How to install bundle = $ ./Bundle_Installer <BundleFiles> EX $ ./Bundle_Installer vboxgtk.deb_bundle = Source Code = http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/source/browse/#svn/trunk = Issue1 : Bundle Packages created on one system can be differ from other = YEs, basically, It Bundle_Creator will just download the .deb files which are needed. If some files have been installed earlier , those will not be captured into new bundles. So solution to this we need to make a reference system. We need to create all bundle with respect to that minimum ubuntu system. This reference point can be a minimum ubuntu system Or Just installed ubuntu live image = Issue2 : How new updates will go into these bundle = This is again an issue which need to be taken care. I will upload these bundle on IITD repo as a experiment. I am working on other possible issues and Finally I want to have a one click installable bundles which can be transferable to system which do not have Internet. ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) │ Society for Knowledge Commons │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org └─────────────────────────┘ -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
