Hi Phill, nice to meet you here too! I see you resolved the issues with Pastebin, I think you found a good solution.
Back on topic, yes, I like the idea. For now I put the script on Dev-Host but I didn't put the link on wiki yet. How do you want to manage updates? I mean if you prefer I send to you for the upload or if I must upload directly myself. Do you think is ok to use a script with add others PPAs in your PPA? I'll probably drop a line to the maintainers of Compton and the Faenza Icons to inform of the new "project". For now these are the packages I need. I'm wandering if is better to create more scripts, one for any new session type, or a big one for all sessions... What do you think? Let me know.
