A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

Rasi · 2008-04-19 14:59:17

Added some dependency check instructions

#!/bin/bash
arch=$(uname -r)
if [ "$arch" = "2.6.24-ARCH" ]; then
echo "Arch is the best!"
else
clear
echo "Get a proper Distribution - Arch Linux is the best!"
fi

bash scripts are to slow, so I rewrote it in C

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    fputs("Arch is the best!\n",stdout);
}

edit: should not forget compile instructions:
gcc -o best best.c

or for gentoo users:
gcc -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=<your_arch> -o best best.c

You guys - you are developing the old version - we are using a GUI now.

qball · 2008-04-19 15:27:01

Sorry

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    GtkWidget *dialog;

    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
   
    dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new_with_markup(NULL, 0,GTK_MESSAGE_INFO,GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE, "<span size='xx-large' weight='bold'>Arch is the best!</span>");
    gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog));
    gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);
}

compile: gcc -o best best.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0`

I believe a project this big, sophisticated and important to Arch's community should have its own Flyspray category and its own project page on Arch's server.

insane · 2008-04-19 17:03:54

Any chance this package to make it in the core?

finferflu · 2008-04-19 17:43:52

We should add a wiki page about this.

(BTW, I didn't know qball was an archer, too )

Absolutely cool, that gave me a 100% performance boost:

[me@machine archisbest]$ time ./best
Arch is the best!

real    0m0.002s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.001s
[me@machine archisbest]$ time ./best_gentoo
Arch is the best!

real    0m0.001s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Reimplementing GUI and CLI in lush (aur)

OMG I CAN HAZ WINDOWS 'N STUFF

#!/usr/bin/lush
(ogre)

(setq ww (new windowobject 0 0 120 25 "Best!"
          (setq c1 (new column (new string "Arch is the best!")))))
                     
(new timer 2000 (lambda(c) (==> ww delete)))
(wait ww)

For friends of cli

#!/usr/bin/lush
(print "Arch is the best!")

python web version(for administering the script remotely):

#!/usr/bin/env python
print 'Content-Type: text/html charset=utf-8'

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "Arch is the best !"
KTHXBYE

That cannot handle the kernel version bumping. Consider this:

#!/bin/dash
tmpfile=/tmp/$$.best.dash;echo $(echo -n $(uname -r))|perl -e'chomp($_=<STDIN>);print;'>$tmpfile;check=$(perl -e 'print <STDIN>'<$tmpfile | grep '\-ARCH');if [ $check ];then echo "Arch is the best!";else clear;echo "Get a proper Distribution - Arch Linux is the best!";fi;rm $tmpfile

That's it! The only proper language for stuff like this is lolcode .

venox · 2008-04-21 07:52:33

This is the way <put a distro's name here> people would do it:

#define _(_,___,__,____) ___ ## _ ## ____ ## __
_(o,v,d,i) __(_(h,c,r,a)*___){_(h,c,r,a)*____=\
___;_(o,d,,){_(ut,p,ar,ch)(((*____==0x23)?0x14:
*____)-0xa);}_(h,w,le,i)(*++____);}_(n,i,,t) _(
a,m,n,i)() {__("K|mr*s}*~ro*lo}~+#");}

Edit: there was no need to include stdio.h

Why doesnt it use XML?

That's undynamic. If the kernel version get's higher, eh? Here is some (Simple...) solution:
#!/bin/dash
tmpfile=/tmp/$$.best.dash;echo $(echo -n $(uname -r))|perl -e'chomp($_=<STDIN>);print;'>$tmpfile;check=$(perl -e 'print <STDIN>'<$tmpfile | grep '\-ARCH');if [ $check ];then echo "Arch is the best!";else clear;echo "Get a proper Distribution - Arch Linux is the best!";fi;rm $tmpfile
NOTE: I'm currently LEARNING Perl. Thus, i can't do fucking fancy stuff with it.
BTW: THIS code is now licensed under the WTFPL2. Period.

in fact, you can use shell's regexps to adapt to a new kernel version: this will just check the presence of the string "ARCH"

#!/bin/bash
arch=$(uname -r)
if [[ "$arch" =~ "ARCH" ]]; then
echo "Arch is the best!"
else
clear
echo "Get a proper Distribution - Arch Linux is the best!"
fi

I have made a lua version, it is much slimmer.

#!bin/lua

if os.execute("uname -r "):match("ARCH") then
    print("Arch is the best!")
else
    print("Get a proper Distribution - Arch Linux is the best!")
end

Now… this is fun

For the sake of readability and simplicity:

++>++++++>+++++<+[>[->+<]<->++++++++++<]>>.<[-]>[-<++>]<----------------. ---------------.+++++.<+++[-<++++++++++>]<.>>+.++++++++++.<<.>>+.------------.---.<<.>>---.+++.++++++++++++++.+.<<+.[-]++++++++++.

I know that this bf program is far from beeing optimized using 4 bytes of data memory yet it is quite stable on my setup.

I think that we should settle up on a cli version creating gui as a frontend. A separate library with bindings for different languages would be even better thing. This way one could easily implement a nicely scalable solution for whole hosts farms using client—server paradigm.

With code above I wanted to create only a rapid prototype (hence the language choice) but IMO more universal facility with various backends would be a definite go.

I have to announce that I'm leaving this project. At first, development was lots of fun with a great team and some fast and excellent results, but it seems that as the project and its userbase grew, discussion got to be more and more about the bikeshed. It's just not what it used to be.

All the best.

kensai · 2008-04-22 00:04:46

Can this be ported to *BSD?

Why would you want to run it on *BSD? Arch is the best!

XChrisX · 2008-04-22 18:08:09

I rewrote in FreePascal:

program archisbest;

begin
  writeln('Arch is the best');
end.

Save the file as archisbest.pas
To compile: fpc archisbest.pas

Arch Linux
