If there were not those packages outside the distribution - or even Gentoo - who build from the source and the source has gone away. GCC keeps evolving but tries to outrun dementia. e.g. gcc-9.2 compiling vlc-3.0.8 cannot understand -abs(p_in->format.i_height);- you have to spell it -abs((int)p_in->format.i_height);- This is not the daily user but whenever you do tell your personal computer to do what he is meant for, doing you personal things, this is what happens. Thanx a lot. It is still a good idea to have a plan. I do have a backup of my tweaked sources. )
Compiling from the sources, Gentoo, Linux from Scratch, Slackware current aided by Slackbuilds.org is no different.

This is great man, I had a different system much poorer than this, but I would take history of commands I-ve ran and make it print to a file and store that file and then the next time I already have a list that includes things that were installed and quickly do that manually. It helps as well, especially for those solutions that had taken me a long time to search or solve for. This is combined with my list will help a lot.

You make a great point. and I think there is something extremely important to be added.
If the reason for reinstalling is a conflict in installed applications, reinstalling from the list may reinstall the conflicting apps.
Other than that, Thumbs up.
And I like how you sorted out the AUR for the command line to exclude it from installing.
Thank you for the video.

Arch users, note the -n and -m option for the pacman -Q command.
-n lists packages that are native to the sync database (i.e. the arch repos). -m lists packages that are not found in the arch repos and that you've installed yourself via pacman -U (i.e. all AUR packages).
$ pacman -Qqen
$ pacman -Qqem
Just repeating what's already been said to stress the distinction.

I'm in the habit of manually updating a package list every time I install something.
That way, I avoid adding dependencies. And I keep it somewhat sorted into categories. Sometimes even commenting on specific packages so that I know why I installed them.
Oh and if they weren't installed from the repos I mark where they came from.
(AUR, Snap, flatpak, etc)

I just built a list of Ansible roles that install everything including config changes. In a playbook I chose the roles to install. This way I easily get rid of things that I installed previously and then don't use anymore after a while.
This works for distribution packages, packages from additional repositories, and apps built from source, ...

Thanks for this video DT. I have two questions, is there any point to installing dependencies since dependencies are installed by default when you install a -master- package ? How to do version control all of the tweaks I-ve made to my system over time ? For me that-s the most annoying task when bringing up a new system.

this was a nice video but i was curious could you make like a bash script or something with aliases or something with your git clones and such or is this faster?
Edit: after a thought. could you make a autorun script or something not sure how but i was just thinking of something to quickly run the commands

Looks like Synaptic has functionality for this by generating a package download script. I usually like to use a GUI, preferably Synaptic for such things. I don't care for the store-type GUI package managers. I have been getting more into Arch, also using ArcoLinux, so this is a handy tip. Thanks, dude.

1 year later and I just recently watched this. I created a few package list files to keep things organized and I got my arch install time down to about 30 minutes including a couple of aur packages that take a while to compile from source. This is amazing. Thanks for posting.
