PMM - Package Manger Manager!

A tools to describe which packages should be installed on your Ubuntu system.

Features

• Fast. Run-time is about 1 second if not changes are required.
• "Config" is a bash script so it's easy to install packages conditionally, e.g. by $HOSTNAME.
• Keeps your system tidy.
• Easily manage packages installed on multiple systems.
• tested, no promises but:
  • I have used this to bootstrap a new system
  • I have dist-upgraded system where I have used this

# And you should add many more packages...
# One way is to add packages and run your package.sh script until no desired packages
# are going to be removed.

# Host specific packages
if [[ "${HOSTNAME}" == "juho-laptop" ]]; then
        # Local package, from url
