Make available in apt

[Kristoffeh]

Hello,

I distrohop from time to time and I've replaced fastfetch with neofetch as it is no longer maintained. I was hoping you guys could make the .deb package available via apt so that i could add it to my init script. Which installs all the necessary packages i need.

Until now i have just used wget to download the specific version manually and then just install the file, but this means i would have to keep changing the version numbers. This is tedious.

I'd appreciate it if i could just do sudo apt install fastfetch instead. For the rest of us normies lol.

Hello @Kristoffeh ,
What is your distribution? In Debian trixie, fastfetch is in the official repositories.
And for information it's not up to the developers to integrate an application into a distribution, but up to the distribution's developers to integrate an application into the repositories.
And have you checked out Fastfetch's github page (https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch)?
All the information you need is there.

I use Zorin OS 17.3, which is based on ubuntu. I really thought it was up to the package devs.. dang

A quick update on this. I was initially going to request the Zorin team to add the package - but i found out that there was a PPA available so i just used that instead:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zhangsongcui3371/fastfetch -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fastfetch -y

Works like a charm!
