https://askubuntu.com/questions/33413/how-to-create-a-meta-package-that-automatically-installs-other-packages

Optimized setup: - use this after performing a complete example somewhere else

Basic system update and upgrade:

ubuntu:~#sudo apt-get update
ubuntu:~#sudo apt-get upgrade

For having pbuilder that creates a clean simple ubuntu environment for builds:

ubuntu:~#sudo apt-get install gnupg pbuilder ubuntu-dev-tools bzr-builddeb apt-file

This does the packaging but is not used regularly

ubuntu:~#sudo apt-get install packaging-dev

Generate the gpg key:

gpg --gen-key

Send the keys to launchpad:

gpg --send-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com keythatgotgenerated

Copy paste the secure email from launchpad to read its content:

vim mail.gpg

Extract the message for the launchpad stuff:

gpg -d mail.gpg

Creating the clean pbuilder environment:

pbuilder-dist trusty create

Should match with the gpg key:

bzr whoami "YourName <youremailid>"

Launchpad key:

bzr launchpad-login yourlaunchpadid

These commands should be included in the bashrc file:

vim ~/.bashrc

export DEBFULLNAME="YourFullName"
export DEBEMAIL="youremailid"

source ~/.bashrc

basic git config necessary:

git config --global user.email "youremailid"
git config --global user.name "youreusername"
git config --global core.editor "vim"
git config --global push.default simple
git --version

This allows us to access the actual file system - vagrant is useful this way that by placing //files/folders in this folder will allow them to be accessible to vagrant shell:

cd /vagrant
mkdir code
cd packages/
mkdir -p adxadapter2
cd adxadapter2/
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk --no-install-recommends

This will create the .ssh folder in the exact location:

ssh-keygen

Copy your private rsa key so that you can directly access github:

cp id_rsa ~/.ssh/
cd .ssh
cd ..

Remove the created public file that is not required created by ssh-keygen file:

rm id_rsa.pub
