Restore packages

[opensourcestough]

I am trying to restore the packages. I see how on line 157 get the restore file. Would you be able to add the package list as well?

[MrAlpha786]

I don't understand, add package list to what? Please be more clear.

[opensourcestough]

Sorry, pkglist.out (the list of installed packages). I see on line 157 you accept the filename for the restore file without the package list and corresponding command.

[MrAlpha786]

Will you please quote the particular code snippet you referring to? And please elaborate the issue.

function list_packages () {

Grep 'histfile' and create two arrays

one of installed pkgs and one of removed pkgs

while IFS= read -r line; do
line=${line/-y/}
if [[ "$line" =~ ' install ' ]]; then
installed+=(${line##* install })
else
removed+=(${line##* remove })
removed+=(${line##* purge })
fi
done < <(grep -E ' install | remove | purge ' ${TERBR_HISTFILE})

For every removed pkg, if it's also in installed pkgs

remove it from installed pkgs

for pkg in "${removed[@]}";do
for i in "${!installed[@]}";do
if [[ "${installed[$i]}" == "$pkg" ]]; then
unset installed[$i]
break
fi
done
done

Remove any duplicates

And put them in TERBR_PKGS

declare -A tmp_array

for i in "${installed[@]}"; do
[[ $i ]] &amp;&amp; IFS=" " tmp_array["${i:- }"]=1
done

echo -e "${G} Saving installed packages to '${TERBR_PKGS}'\n"

printf '%s\n' "${!tmp_array[@]}" > $TERBR_PKGS

if [ -n "${TERBR_VERBOSE}" ];then
echo -e "$G [*] Installed Packages $N\n"
nl "${TERBR_PKGS}"
fi
}

With that, you create the installer package list. In the restore process, it is never used on its own or during the file restoration.

[MrAlpha786]

Script don't restore packages because many packages may need configuration during installation. There can be many different test cases. So, it is better to just save installed packages in a list.

I feel adding it as an option would be valuable. I used apt-get install -y $(awk '{print $1}' "/storage/emulated/0/pkgliet.out" ) and it allowed approving or examining differences.
