Hi, It sounds like it would be really great to perhaps bring that into efler? Efler is a boostrapper and app discovery / install manager platform that has similar aims. It aims to have a 1 line install command that you can read more about here: http://bit.ly/efler
Currently efler can bootstrap Arch/Manjaro and OSX - Ubuntu was next on my list. Upon a successful bootstrap you have efl and efler installed and you are handed over to the efler UI to pick other apps for your install pleasure :) Let me know what you think!
