listed in the ocial repo's. While this may look like an awful lot of code for something that should be relatively simple, you should know that GetDeb and PlayDeb are repositories, they're not hosted in one. A large part of this script is also adding support for elementary OS Luna, which, while based upon Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, is detected as Luna by GetDeb. Since GetDeb doesn't support Luna, we have to pretend to be running Precise. If you really want to shorten it down, you can remove everything from if to && . This won't have much aect on Precise, only a very slight speed increase, but will break support for Luna.
