Re-Introduction to DebBundle project

[Narendra Sisodiya]

If you have Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit and do not have vlc on it. then you can download this 24MB package - 

http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/downloads/detail?name=vlc.x86_64.OneClickInstall 

and just give a one click, it will it install vlc on your system

So, how I have done it, Here it the full story..

Problem - How to install Software package on a Linux System when it do not have Internet ?

I know there are multiple solution to this problem.. Here I am giving one very solution which looks perfect to solve the problem

you can down the script from http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/
What this little script will do..
For example, your system do not have vlc , then you can go to other system which has Internet and then run the script .
Script will produce VLC.i386.OneClickInstall ,

You can can carry this file to anywhere and then install it by just clicking it. Let me repeat, Just by clicking it, neither you terminal , nor you need any extra software to install it.
So enjoy it and give me feedback. ( narendra  AT narendrasisodiya DOT com )

Script will only download the files which are needed on a given system. But the OneClickInstall Bundles will created on a centralized manner on a freshly installed Ubuntu/Debian.

What I am exactly doing ? I am basically reproducing the beauty of  "D: Drive" which almost every windows user has. For example when I was in BTech, I never used Internet but Still I did many installation and re-installation of Windows where everytime I use to go to D:\Software folder to make few clicks to install all other software. {I was not aware of GNU/Linux at my BTech. please excuse me}

There are still many many user exist who do not have Internet and this solution will help them a lot.

Also, My intention is to create a 3GB bundle from this script which will cover almost every daam COMMOM software for normal user. 

I hope you got my intension behind this.

Last year , I did the same, instead of creating this 3GB oneclickbundle, I create "iso" with lots of customizations. Its called SchoolOS. those who used it, just loved it. But unfortunate people took it as different OS and hesitated to installed SchoolOS. 

There is no momentum in SchoolOS project from last 4 months.

I hope, people will love this solution. I am trying to solve all common problem which normal user face. For example, In SchoolOS , I compiled list of command-line operations which normal user do, and then I created nautilus script to do same thing from GUI..

Well this solution is not for user who can run command line "apt-get install ...", its for them who want to  install it using just ONE CLICK.

There will not be any dependency problem 

WHY - ?

   because I am creating these bundles on freshly installed system. I am no going to Install anything on this system. So I am minimum number of packages on my system which you will be having. 

Let me repeat again. 

Step 1) Install Ubuntu

Step 2)  Click on this 3GB bundle and this will install almost all software which you ( office guy,  programmer, engineer, students) need. I might create smaller package something like 600MB and so too.

Checkout the LOG for VLC - http://gist.github.com/958318

Someone with higher bandwidth can also use it. Nothing wrong it 2 step process. you will eventually create some software bundle which might be useful to you in future  or different machine..

For a sample, Try installing one click installation of VLC - http://code.google.com/p/debbundle/downloads/detail?name=vlc.x86_64.OneClickInstall
