New packages for Factory: diff-so-fancy, tbsm, catimg, ncspot, sway-launcher-desktop, bat-extras
Dear Factory list, over time I have packaged some software I was unable to find elsewhere and I managed to get some of them into a devel project lately. The following packages are now accepted into the given project and I would like to submit them to Factory: - diff-so-fancy (https://github.com/so-fancy/diff-so-fancy) is a Perl script providing human-friendly formatted Diffs from STDIN. It is feature complete but open for new suggestions with maintenance intended. On build it is patched as suggested by rpmlint and installed afterwards. The current devel project is utilities: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/utilities/diff-so-fancy - tbsm (https://loh-tar.github.io/tbsm/) is an session launcher written in Bash. It is installed via the provided Makefile and via copying the documentation. I am in contact with the author regarding pre-release testing and will use this insight to update the package accordingly. While new functional releases are still being made at low speed the software is stable. The current devel project is X11:Utilities: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Utilities/tbsm - catimg (https://posva.net/shell/retro/bash/2013/05/27/catimg) renders images in the terminal and is written in C. It is built and installed via the provided cmake/make configuration. It is feature complete but might be open for new suggestions with maintenance intended. The current devel project is graphics: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/graphics/catimg - sway-launcher-desktop (https://github.com/Biont/sway-launcher-desktop) is a TUI application launcher with .desktop entry support written in Bash (and contrary to it's name usable without sway ;) ). It is patched as suggested by rpmlint and installed afterwards. While new functional releases are still being made at low speed the software is stable. The current devel project is X11:Utilities: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Utilities/sway-launcher-desktop - bat-extras (https://github.com/eth-p/bat-extras) are Bash scripts integrating the cat clone bat with various other CLI tools They are built via the provided custom build script, patched as suggested by rpmlint and installed afterwards. It is feature complete but might receive new features or releases with maintenance intended. The current devel project is utilities: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/utilities/bat-extras - One package that I took maintainership of too is ncspot (https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot), a CLI client for Spotify inspired by ncmpc and written in Rust. It is built vendored, built and installed via cargo. New releases are given out every month, so it is actively developed, but stable and usable for quite some time. The current devel project is multimedia:apps: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:apps/ncspot All packages should be free of rpmlint warnings and errors for Factory at least. Additionally I got in contact with every original author to make sure that the software is alive or at least maintenance work is planned/possible. Please be aware that I am new to openSUSE packaging, so every feedback is welcome as there might be things missing from my work. Best regards Jan-Luca

That's just outputting bgcolored whitespace by the looks of it. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel method however has a much higher resolution.
Hi,
The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel method however has a much higher resolution.
yes, you are right, that clearly is sharper. Do you know about an alternative tool to use this functionality from a generic terminal, preferably already packaged? Best regards Jan-Luca
