TLDR;

On an Debian/Ubuntu-based system, to install texlive-full without docs and language packs, simply do this:

sudo apt install `sudo apt --assume-no install texlive-full | \
		awk '/The following additional packages will be installed/{f=1;next} /Suggested packages/{f=0} f' | \
		tr ' ' '\n' | grep -vP 'doc$' | grep -vP 'texlive-lang' | grep -vP 'latex-cjk' | tr '\n' ' '`

After this, if you wish to install the language packs, selectively install them. E.g.:

How to generate and apply patches with git?

It sometimes happen you need change code on a machine from which you cannot push to the repo. You’re ready to copy/paste what diff outputs to your local working copy.

You think there must be a better way to proceed and you’re right. It’s a simple 2 steps process:

1. Generate the patch:

git diff > some-changes.patch

x1a0

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import string

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print "Usage: %s infile [outfile] [delimiter_char]" % sys.argv[0]
    sys.exit(1)

filename_in = sys.argv[1]
