I just pushed an improved install-pkgs.sh script to the Lubuntu branch. Changes include:
* Use set -e to exit when an error occurs. * Add notice that installing packages may take a long time. * Sort and remove duplicates from package list. * Display package list before downloading and installing packages. * Allow use of Ubuntu texlive packages in 13.04 as well as 12.10 These changes are based on real world experience helping Lubuntu folks use the script (via my lubuntu-manual-dev.sh script). The intent was to make it clearer that something has gone wrong (e.g. do not display Done! You should now be able to compile the Ubuntu manual! when that is not the case), and to provide more information about what is happening during the downloading and installation of the (sometimes large) package set, so that users do not think their machine has "frozen". I'm very happy for this to go into the Ubuntu Manual branch too, none of the changes are Lubuntu-specific in any way. I just thought I'd let Kevin review my changes and make the choice for himself, since this is his script :) Jonathan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
