Software Snapshot
This script uses python-apt to manipulate the packages that are installed on a machine. This way you can back-up and transfer your software. Potentially it also gives a nice overview of which packages get used on the course.
There are three options.
- With -f FILE --snapshot you save all currently installed packages in FILE. This includes all packages from Ubuntu not only the ones you installed manually!
- With --install FILE you install all packages that are listed in FILE
- With -f OUT --diff FILE1 FILE2 FILE3 ... you save all packages from FILE1 which are not in FILE2 or FILE3 etc. in OUT. This is useful to filter out all packages that get installed by Ubuntu.
