Automatically install common magento extensions at project startup

There are some Magento Connect extensions that I install every time I create a new project, for example Fontis_Recaptcha, Mass_Product_Relater, HM_DeveloperToolbar, ModuleCreator, Alanstormdotcom_Layoutviewer, etc. What's on your list?

Does anyone know about the possibility of automating the installation of a basic set of modules? In the same way that the Mage himself installs all of his modules. I think bash or phing script to automate PEAR? Thoughts?

Do not use the automatic installer script as indicated and maintained here:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/magento_bash_script_installer

and edit it to install the desired extensions

those. just add. / pear install xxxxxxx at the end of the script.

I would take a different approach. Install a clean install and add all your extensions. When you finish exporting the database and archive all the files. Then you should be able to use the files and database as the base for all your purple installations ...

I do the same with Joomla, have not tried it with magento yet, but it should work.
