Prepping Fedora(or any yum based distro), to automagically install what you want

[bsdpunk]

This is brought to you by the http://bsdpunk.blogspot.com blog, thanks.

These scripts can be used generically to install anything you wish, there really easy to reverse engineer and custom retrofit. The bash one even does a couple tar balls, the perl one just does yum. I do development, with perl, and python, on computers and robots, and audio editing, so what I install reflects that.

The first one is bash, so you can save it as install.sh, and run it by typing:
bash install.sh
as long as you are in the directory you saved it in.

PHP Code:

#!/bin/bash
#run as root
#prep
cd /root
mkdir /root/tar
#Necessities for existence/development
yum -y install xchat
yum -y install screen
yum -y install cpan
yum -y install wget
yum -y install PCRE
yum -y install cmake
yum -y install gtk+
yum -y install pygame
yum -y install python-devel
yum -y install cmake
yum -y install cmake-devel
yum -y install liblo
yum -y install liblo-devel
yum -y install gcc-c++-devel
yum -y install cmake-gui
#robotics
yum -y install nxt_python
yum -y install pybluez
#Audio programs setup
yum -y install libsndfile
yum -y install libsndfile-devel
yum -y install qjackctl
yum -y install zynaddsubfx
yum -y install vkeybd
yum -y install qtjack-devel
yum -y install csound
yum -y install csound-devel
yum -y install portmidi
yum -y install rosegarden4
yum -y install jamin
yum -y install jack-audio-connection-kit-devel
yum -y install ctapi-cyberjack-devel
yum -y install zynjacku
yum -y install ardour
#installs of utilities through tar balls
#Yes, you can get nmap through yum, however Fyodor reccommends a source install
#and to be honest, it isn't that hard
cd /root/tar
wget http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-5.00.tar.bz2
tar -xvf nmap-5.00.tar.bz2 
cd /root/tar/nmap-5.00
./configure
make
make install
cd /root/tar
wget http://download.gna.org/algoscore/AlgoScore-081112.tar.bz2
tar -xvf AlgoScore-081112.tar.bz2
cd /root/tar/AlgoScore
./make_build 


This next one is in perl, so you can save it as install.pl, and then run it by typing:
perl install.pl
as long as it is in the same directory you saved it in

PHP Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $yum;

my @yum_installs = qw(
    xchat    screen    cpan
    wget    pcre-devel    cmake
    gtk+    pygame    python-devel
    cmake    cmake-devel    liblo
    liblo-devel gcc-c++-devel    cmake-gui
    libsndfile    libsndfile-devel    qjackctl
    zynaddsubfx    vkeybd    qtjack-devel
    csound    csound-devel    portmidi
    rosegarden4    jamin    jack-audio-connection-kit-devel
    ctapi-cyberjack-devel    zynjacku    ardour
    nxt_python    pybluez
);

array_cracker();

sub array_cracker(){
    foreach(@yum_installs){
            print $_;
            $yum = `yum -y install $_`;
            print $yum;
        }
}

That's pretty cute, I'll have to try it out soon.

BEAU-IFUL

I left out the 't', because Australians don't pronounce t's.

The perl script's awesome, I love how you're able to add any package to the array ;).

I just said beautiful and the T was definitely there, good job with the stereotypes polar bear boy.

Maybe if they're from some backwater part of the country.

This was useful, thank you BSD...

SuSE out of box does rpm and yums. Any distro can really. Just tweak it.

Nice tutorial from the man himself .
