|
|
|
|
Last week, I've decided to take over the famous [Archey project](https://github.com/djmelik/archey).
|
|
For those who don't know anything about it, Archey is a Linux tool written in Python, which print some system information beside the logo of the installed distribution (displayed in ASCII), in your terminal.
|
|
Archey was first designed and realized for Arch Linux only systems, but has been made compatible with other distributions.
|
|
|
|
### But why ?
|
|
|
|
* I've figured out that the project is just outdated
|
|
|
|
* The "re-writing" promised by the author 3 years ago is still not here
|
|
|
|
* The dozens of forks :
|
|
1. ... have changed the original form of the code [AND / OR]
|
|
|
|
2. ... are still written against Python 2 [AND / OR]
|
|
|
|
3. ... do not handle other OS aside Arch Linux [AND / OR]
|
|
|
|
4. ... are not maintained... either :confused:
|
|
|
|
### What is the final purpose ?
|
|
|
|
I commit myself to review each _issue_ or _pull request_ opened on the [GitHub project](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4).
|
|
The idea is about providing technical support in order to improve and maintain this piece of code, keeping it viable and working in the future, with newer system versions.
