Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Good choice of licensing terms

Anyway, since human languages seem to count as well, let me provide an Italian translation:

Arch è la migliore!

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Made a few improvements:
  - Adding a new language actually works now (yay)
  - The number of implementations in each language is shown next to the name of the language in the sidebar
  - You can click the title of an implementation to be taken to a page where you can comment on it (example).

Any more ideas?

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Based on danielsoft's script, but using libnotify:

#!/bin/sh
arch=$(uname -r)
if [[ "$arch" =~ "ARCH" ]]; then
    notify-send -u critical 'Arch is the best!'
else
    notify-send -u critical 'Get a proper distribution...' 'Arch is the best!'
fi

Urgency set to "critical" because it is, of course, vital that the user should be aware of Arch's superiority.

Edit: Gah! That's what I get for running a custom kernel! I couldn't understand why it kept failing here.

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

After much work, I amassed this into an unofficially official website for the project: http://arch.yarrt.com

Brilliant! Kudos!

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

I've created a PKGBUILD for the kernel module now. I had to create a tar.gz with the source files, sorry.

Tarball with PKGBUILD, install-file and sources: http://www.file-upload.net/download-851 … ar.gz.html

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

What about SQL?

SELECT "Arch is the best!"

or for reuse

DECLARE @Arch varchar(14);
SET @Arch = "Arch is the best!";

SELECT @Arch

I'd like to contribute a finnish localization:

"Arch on paras!"

And what about some ASCII-banners?

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Finally, after almost a month of intensive bughunting I fixed the german translation. So here is the german translation of the bash-script in version 1.0final:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/zenity --info --text "Arch ist das Beste!"

We should consider using GNU gettext for i18n to keep things maintainable.

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Well for our CASIO friends (Graph 35+,65+,85 even if it may be too fast for the screen ) :

\ClrText
\Locate 1,1,"Arch is the best"
\Stop

(ready to be copy pasted into gasetta).

Evolved version that bounces "Arch is the best" on your screen (when it reaches corners) :

1\->A~F
\While 1
A\->C
B\->D
A+E\->A
B+F\->B
A=1\=>1\->E
A=7\=>\(-)1\->E
B=1\=>1\->F
B=5\=>\(-)1\->F
\ClrText
\Locate B,A,"Arch is the best !"
\WhileEnd

Code released at do what the f*ck you want liscence
I'm not responsible of cool things done by spreading Arch's goodness.

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

I made a quick and dirty Tkinter implementation:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import Tkinter as tk
from sys import exit

THE_BEST = 'Arch is the best!'

class Dialog(object):
    def __init__(self, label):
        self.label = label
        top = tk.Tk()
        f = tk.Frame(top)
        f.pack()
        l_msg = tk.Label(f, text=self.label)
        l_msg.pack()
        b_exit = tk.Button(f, text='Ya, rly!', command='exit')
        b_exit.pack()
        top.mainloop()


def main():
    Dialog(THE_BEST)

main()

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

I wonder if that while will be like the while of the "worse than failure" post...
due to the importance of this project it should be here longer, I propose creating it's own git branch

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

MOS 6502/6510 (Commodore 64) Assembler, just a quick hack

        .org   $2000        ; start address
        ldx    #0
loop    lda    output,x     ; main loop
        jsr    $ffd2
        inx
        cpx    #23
        bne    loop 
        rts
output  .byte  "ARCH LINUX IS THE BEST!"

SEE IT IN ACTION

Some info: The "program" only takes up 37 bytes in memory: 23 bytes for the output text and 14 bytes for the logic... I wanted it as simple as possible, so it doesnt even contain a basic start routine to make it runnable via "run". That stuff can be added of course, but it will nearly double the size of the program...

Wow, its a long time since i last touched this stuff, and its still the same fun... Seems i am getting old

@ornitorrincos:  lol +1
we should also make a package containing "every" developed implementation
(obviously it must be kept stable.... something always break in development versions )

Argh. I've always regretted not learning Z80 asm on the Spectrum back in the '80s, but never more so than now.

Re: A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Vala console version:

public class Best : GLib.Object
{
    public static void main(string [] args)
    {
        GLib.stdout.printf("Arch is the best!\n");
    }
}

and GTK+ version

using GLib;
using Gtk;

public class Best : Window 
{
    construct 
    {
        title = "Arch is the best!";
        create_widgets();
        this.resize(200, 100);
    }

    public void create_widgets() 
    {
        destroy += Gtk.main_quit;
        var vbox = new VBox(false, 1);
        var label = new Label("Arch is the best!");
        var button = new Button.with_label("Got it. Exit.");
        button.clicked += b => { main_quit();  };
        vbox.pack_start(label, true, true, 0);
        vbox.pack_start(button, false, false, 0);
        add(vbox);
    }

    public static void main (string[] args) 
    {
        Gtk.init(ref args);
        var best = new Best();
        best.show_all();
        Gtk.main();
    }
}
