It was more of a reminder to myself that for every time that I violate that rule it will make trouble on every migration.
If I had many worthy programs that were cobbled or tweaked by myself, I think the best solution would be keep all the sources off somewhere else, and have an automated sync routine to bring them in.
The freeSync idea didn’t come up till the 11th hour and I opted to minimize the issue to where it was a 15 minute task doing it by hand, and leaving the idea of automating the post install, post configuration, resync part of the task list as a separate, smaller problem that I could look at, solve and test separately.
To be honest, my main laptop was desperately crippled, with apt wanting me to download and install 3/4 of a gb to fix it, and IF that had worked, it still would have the nVidia mess, so that plus the loading of the new Dell m2400 and Alienware machines forced me to get an efficient migration method working, if I wanted to be running machines setup to my liking.
LOL, I bet you have 50 or 100 programs like that, not one or two like me…
I really liked using Tilde, as it was as perfect of a command line editor as I could ask for, but getting Geany working from midnight commander as it’s editor and making good backups of changes made Tilde expendable.
The same went for mrxvt-mini. I really liked it, and it was super efficient, but not worth spending hours on an old unsupported program, when LXTerminal works well, even if takes a lot more memory.
Thanks much for everyone’s help ????
