wyron - feel free to update the script - it is located here now so you or anyone can do it:
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Latest%20version%20of%20update%20scripts
If you want to add anything you can do that too
Sorry - but no - I already tried that.
My credentials aren't good enough, it seems.
But they're great scripts for all that !!
With a bit of work afterwards (eg. manual install of MySQL-shared-compat....) you'll be up and running in no time, compared to the time-consuming process of learning about, finding, (w)getting and installing/updating the packages one by one.
And as an added benefit, if you made it all from an updates ibay, created for the occasion, you also have some documentation at hand later on, when you've forgotten all about your tweaks.
At last a word of caution (for newbies, mainly) !
It's been mentioned before, but I'll press the point:
Don't do this on a production server !
Do this only on fresh installs, where down-time isn't a critical issue, for there is work to be done after running the scripts, as several of us have experienced.
Read through this thread and the threads belonging to the original contribs before panicking, when something doesn't work right out of the box.
I, for instance, had no mysql, hence no webmail or phpmyadmin, before settling down to get my hands dirty.
