    Hey,

    I was looking at these metrics: https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/branches/active https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/branches https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pulls

    and it's not looking good. Do we have the wrong upstream in our current ebuild?
    https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-misc/neofetch

    Other distro's seem to have the same upstream, so I guess it is correct: https://repology.org/project/neofetch/information

    Best regards,
    Andrew

    Upstream is totally abandoned with no updates for 2 years. The situation
    has spawned multiple forks and there are different maintained
    alternatives available now in Gentoo's repository. To list a few:
    fastfetch, hyfetch, screenfetch

    If you're aware of more/better alternatives, please add them to the package.mask file at your will. Bug #916040
