Instalee can install the same set of packages on any system
|
||||||
|
with graceful failure if any package is unavailable.
|
||||||

With appropriate setup and logging (TBD)

it can also keep the installed packages in sync.
|

Simply, Instalee can be used as a unified installation frontend,
|
||||||
|
both manual and automatic,
|
||||||
|
to any package manager or other method of installation
|
||||||
|
on any system with a POSIX Shell available
|
||||||
|
(and the basic logic is so simple
|
||||||
|
you could easily port it to another foundation,
|
||||||
|
preserving the file structure).
