A solid neofetch replacement for void powerusers!
Closes #38293

- I tested the changes in this PR: briefly
New package
- This new package conforms to the package requirements: YES
Local build testing
- I built this PR locally for my native architecture, (x86_64-glibc)
- I built this PR locally for these architectures (if supported. mark crossbuilds):
- x86_64-musl
- aarch64-glibc

Fastfetch-2.11.5 is out now.
I am aware, thanks!
They are releasing almost daily though and that would be too spammy for the void team, so if the package gets merged, I'll aim towards updating once a week or so. I will have to test the package before releasing each time so it's for the best regarding my own time too!
I will update the PR for now, but rest assured I will be updating it in the future without a need for a ping ( I hope!), don't think I gave up on it if I skipped a release or two!
@AnInternetTroll Surely! Patch applied. Also added you as a Co-author
I've tested on x86_64-glibc, x86_64-musl, aarch64-glibc.
please add conf_file and changelog. like this #38310
Adding the changelog certainly, but uncertain about conf_files.
If that's meant to point to fastfetch's config, then according to its manpage:
Config Files Fastfetch uses JSONC based format for configuration. Fastfetch doesn't generate config file automatically; it should be generated manually by --gen-config. The config file will be saved in ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc by default.
If you are willing to provide an extra pointer to what requesting I'll try my best to deliver!

Seems like fastfetch has an undocumented /etc/fastfetch/config.conf file that takes in CLI arguments. For example:
--logo windows
--color cyan
--kernel-format {1} {2}
--host-format {2}
What @hervyqa is asking is you add
conf_files="/etc/fastfetch/config.conf" under configure_args, how
the PR linked does it
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38310/files#diff-4db011d7f520a56f51c21a61c5db944e05bafe1cbe4cbaa570f4099d2715a5eeR7
Side note, a better alternative might be to only build the tests when the tests will be ran, and not always build them
if [ "$XBPS_CHECK_PKGS" ]; then
configure_args="-DBUILD_TESTS=ON"
fi
Sure! ./xbps-src pkg fastfetch fails with that though complaining that:
=> ERROR: fastfetch-2.11.5_1: '/etc/fastfetch/config.conf' configuration file not in PKGDESTDIR! => ERROR: fastfetch-2.11.5_1: cannot continue with installation!
Any ideas?

On second though, maybe it's not a good idea
- It's deprecated
We are deprecating flags based config files (will be removed in v3.0.0). We suggest you migrate to json based config files. One may use -c /path/to/config.conf --gen-config to migrate existing flag based config files.
https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/blob/dev/CHANGELOG.md#240
- The package doesn't need a "default config", so in theory it won't be overwritten by xbps
But thanks for testing it out!

Gucci, removed configure_args from the top and added a conditional append, just in case we wanna define default configure flags in the future. If that's alright with you!
hey, i've been using fastfetch as well for the past 5 months or so, with a personal template i work on, it never broke for me.
I personally approve the addition of fastfetch as a replacement for neofetch. :v:
