Need little Help to implement something small

[solisinvictum]

Hey @ all,

i gaved the source a little look. i thought i could implement something easy, because i know a little bit C (last time used in School 20 years ago lol).

There is a nice Distro, called CachyOS. One of the benefits is, thats automatic gets detected if the used Hardware is capable to use a specific, optimized Repo (actually -v3 called). In there are Packages wich are optimized for specific CPU Flags/Feature to improve Speed, loadingtime, etc pp.

If the Hardware support that, this repo gets enabled (but without the notification for the user, or a Info or somewhat similar).

I already "created" something like that, with few Lines of bash/fish. See here:

But instead of figure out how to format it correctly so it looks uniform (pipes, cat, sed, what_ever). i thought i could create a plugin/module/edit_somewhere_in_the_source_directly (my first try was simply to pipe the output through a script, wich replace the "Packages:" entry with "Packages: 1234 (v3 Repo enabled)". Wich works, but isnt so "beauty" and a quick n dirty solution).

But to be honest, in my head this sounded easier as thought, because i dont know where to start in the source.

Could somebody give me a example, or a hint how to realize this?

Thanks very much!

Take a look here. Note that pacman on Manjaro already gets some info appended, you can implement yours the same way.

So Manjaro forked fastfetch? or what do you mean?

Thanks for the link. I give it a look and try it to understand :D

No, on manjaro the output is either (pacman)[stable] or (pacman)[unstable] depending on the enabled repo. I suppose you want to do something similar, so i figured the code for that might help you.
