post-install script for Debian systems

Debian System Setup

Adapted from ubuntu-post-install scripts of Sam Hewitt and Mark Padgham, to whom all credit is due.

Usage

./setup.sh

or make an alias.

Structure

There are six main functions in the directory of that name, some of which use the data directory, and all of which use variables defined in functions/variables.

1. doall enables all functions to be run non-interactively to build an entirely new system from scratch

2. aptadd adds apt keys (/data/keys.list) and repositories (/data/repos.list)

3. apt installs packages.list (and skips all those already installed)

4. nonapt opens a menu for the following additional functions

   i. pandoc to install the latest version from source

   ii. python to install a host of additional python modules

   iii. R packages to install those

   iv. sourcecodepro to install the font

   v. travis to install the ruby gem for travis-ci

5. configure provides 3 configuration options, including installing dotfiles

6. cleanup removes obsolete packages, kernels, and the like

In addition, check performs initial checks for packages necessary to run this script
