(As requested earlier, now creating a ticket here for tracking purposes.)

Please provide instructions on how to sudo apt-get install subgraph-os / debootstrap Subgraph OS.

It will be pretty straight-forward once our full repo is up.

Before that, you could try to get it working yourself with mixed repositories. I've never attempted to do that so I couldn't really advise you. There is a tool called multistrap that seems geared towards this purpose. If you get something working, let us know. Otherwise, this will stay open until our repo is up and debootstrap works normally.

What about "sudo apt-get install subgraph-os" from multiple repositories?

adrelanos avatar Apr 22 '17 17:04 adrelanos

Not implemented. Feel free to implement it if you need it.

This seems like the wrong approach, the proper Debian way to do this would be using tasks.

As @mckinney-subgraph pointed out though we don't currently need this, so unless someone "PRs", this will go wontfix.

@xSmurf :

This seems like the wrong approach, the proper Debian way to do this would be using tasks.

Do you mean tasks as per Debian's tasksel?

In that case...

tasksel --task-packages gnome-desktop

Outputs task-gnome-desktop.

Debian tasks (tasksel?) just installs a meta package. (task-gnome-desktop is an example one.)

I believe the proper Debian way would be using a meta package.

Yes tasks. A combinations of tasks and metapackages is how blends are built. Not everything is a dependency. What exactly is the point you are making here?

This ticket is a feature request to provide a subgraph-os meta package (and/or task) that can be installed using sudo apt-get install subgraph-os on plain Debian to convert plain Debian into Subgraph OS. That would be awesome.

As mentioned, this isn't needed in our current workflow so it's unlikely we will be dedicating resources to maintaining this. All the necessary information is available should someone decide they'd like to do it.
