Can you explain, what it does and why it is necessary? Why isn't it just possible, to add the repos and run apt install regolith-desktop?
It was to install regolith on Debian. I think some of the package dependencies were different, so I had to pull them in specifically. It was a year ago, so this might not be necessary any longer.
I mean rather, what the lines do. I used it and it works, but I have no idea, why.
