I was just thinking since it's basically an apt-get script that depends on the sources... once you installed a newer version and had the appropriate distro repositories in Synaptic, the same file would still import the newer stuff, wouldn't it? I keep a list I run as a script the same way but this is much easier.

yea it would get the new version of the package, since most of the package names dont change much, but for the ones that does change u have to install it manually if u remember which ur missing =) but overall i would use this for new versions. Is all base on the exact names in the list thats all. In most case naming is vlc not vlc1.0~abcd ...etc so u should be good

I've been keeping a text file with the names of the main packages I installed so I can sudo apt-get install and then paste the list. But this is WAY easier! When you export settings as well does it get all the third party sources you've added as well?

[gotbletu]

well that u have to save the sourcelist and the key file, but yea this markings saves the 3rd packages also. Basically anything u have installed will be in the full list

great..loved it! very much useful!

[LaKoentjuh]

how do i save the sourcelist and the keyfile?

I guess this is great for people who just are beginning to use Ubuntu. I use a script to remove all the stuff i don't want like ekiga, transmission etc. and install what i want. That' s also very easy but i wouldn't recommend somebody who is just beginning to use Ubuntu. Great video gotbletu.
