What I would like to do on each of my family's "3" Ubuntu boxes that are
"All Different".
* Script or command to read the list of apps installed:
* ignores all those installed as requirements
* Ignores all those automatically installed
* I think that the apt system tracks that info?
I typed up most of the following before Dianne jumped in, but I'll send
it anyway - the "minimize-manual" may be helpful...
Possibly the following will help:
`apt-mark showmanual`
Might need to reduce the size of that list, as base setup flags some
stuff as manual when it wasn't exactly manual as we'd expect:
`apt-mark minimize-manual`
* I can read and edit the list
* I can copy that list to various backup locations, like the other
Ubuntu boxes, or email or whatever.
* I think I can create a script to re-install from the list
For multiple machines, Ansible or the like is probably better than
`apt-mark` or `dpkg --get-selections` and trying to hack together
something with the output.
IMHO.
