Hi Cat and thank you for maintaining hyfetch!
After filing my other bugs I found out that hyfetch was rewritten in
Rust and my other bugs maybe do not even apply anymore once the new
upstream version is packaged. So I looked into doing that and saw in my
IRC logs that you asked in #debian-rust how to best package this back in
September 2025.
I tried to create a proof-of-concept and attached a possible patch to
the end of this mail. For this to work the rust crate called bpaf needs
to be packaged first. Unfortunately I ran into issues with that and am
still waiting for somebody in #debian-rust to help me with it.
Nevertheless, since I'll be quite busy in the coming days, I thought I
better dump what I have here so that it does not get lost. Feel free to
do with it whatever you like. Maybe (hopefully) I come back to it and
finish it up.
Thanks!
cheers, josch

+Description: Command-line Tool that Presents System Info
+ HyFetch is a command line script to display information about
+ your Linux system, such as amount of installed packages, OS
+ and kernel version, active GTK theme, CPU info, and used/available
+ memory. It is a fork of neofetch, and adds pride flag coloration
+ to the OS logo.
+ .
+ Hyfetch also has the ability to integrate with other system info
+ tools, such as fastfetch, to use them to gather info that is then
+ displayed through hyfetch.

+Description: Shows Linux System Information with Distribution Logo
+ Neowofetch is a fork of Neofetch, the cross-platform and
+ easy-to-use system information command line script that collects
+ your Linux system information and displays it on the terminal
+ next to animage, either your distribution logo or any ascii art
+ of your choice.
