Use case:

When I install Ubuntu on another computer, I need to:

  • install all the packages that I use;
  • make some config changes;
  • svn checkout some projects;
  • git clone some projects;
  • setup .ssh/config;
  • download a custom Eclipse build;
  • download some additional Eclipse plugins;
  • make many other tweaks.

So, I want to run a script, like sudo install-everything-needed, that would execute these predefined actions.

Is there any package that provides the backbone for such system?
