I think python-glade2 might be the last one, but I guess that depends on what you already have installed. If you can wait a little while, (and I really do mean little) I'll have a bash version for you. Running the first test now, and it's about 2/3 done squashing the filesystem.
Yes, live-initramfs is listed as a dep, but that package has been replaced with live-boot-initramfs-tools. I'll make sure to change that whenever I get to packaging the bash script in a deb file. That could be awhile. For now, I'll put it in a tarball.
Copy the tarball to /usr/local/lib/ and unpack it. It should unpack into refractasnapshot/. Then move the script out of that directory and put it somewhere in your path. I'll be putting it in /usr/local/bin/ when it's debianized. Then run it as root. I think that's it. Oh yeah, make sure you have enough space. It copies your entire filesystem to /tmp/work, so you need to have about 2/3 free space. It also creates the iso under /home/snapshot, so if you have a separate /home partition, make sure you've got enough free space for that to fit.
All I did was take the commands out of refractasnaphot.py (8.0.4) and put them in a script. I don't know any python either, but all the commands are on lines that start with "os.chdir" or "os.system" or some such. Other stuff in the tarball is needed for the build.
Oh cool, it's done. I've got /home/snapshot/snapshot.iso, so now all I have to do is sftp it out of vbox and then boot the iso in vbox. I'm pretty confident it'll work. I'll edit this post with a link to the tarball when I upload it. That'll probably be in less than an hour.
It boots. Here's the link. Let me know how it works for you.
