No need to wait! fastfetch has now been accepted into Debian unstable!
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fastfetch
@CarterLi <https://github.com/CarterLi> I reckon this issue can be
closed now
This is indeed great, congrats to all involved! I now see that fastfetch
is already in Testing.
However, please allow my to comment on the package Description. This is
how it looks like a.t.m.:
Description: neofetch-like tool for fetching system information
Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and
displaying them in a pretty way. It is written mainly in C, with
performance and customizability in mind.
I don't think it's good practice to refer to another program in the
description section, in this case neofetch. The description assumes that
the user knows what neofetch is, and given that it is abandoned by the
author and likely going away in the future, users will soon not know
what neofetch is.
I think it would be better to refer to neofetch in the man page, I am
not sure to what extent fastfetch was inspired by neofetch, but perhaps
it would be proper to credit the author of neofetch in the man page, if
this is the case. Neofetch has been a great program and used by many,
and now we say goodbye to it and hello to fastfetch :-)
I have authored an alternative Description: text that you are free to
use in any way you please, as you can see, I have avoided mentioning
neofetch:
Description: Pretty display of detailed system information
Fastfetch is a highly configurable, cross-platform tool that fetches
system information and displays it on the terminal in a pretty way.
Fastfetch comes with over 60 modules and over 400 logos that can
optionally be displayed when configured by the user. Fastfetch is
mainly written in C, with performance and customizability in mind.
Cheers,
Morten
