You do have a fork of freshfetch (link to diff at time of writing this comment), but it doesn't really do much, except for a nix-store and nix-env query to measure the system closure, which I think could get contributed upstream...

Also even freshfetch only seems to be available in nixpkgs and the AUR, so even the project you are forking is questionable for suitability to nixpkgs at best...

Thanks for maintaining various cosmic apps in nixpkgs, but I think you're better off using a flake for this application.

I have an PR upstream but there is no movement on any issues:

K4rakara/freshfetch#48

This is not a fork of freshfetch, this is all new code. I would be the maintainer of this package so I don't see the issue.

[ahoneybun]

Freshfetch is dead, they have not updated the code, no comments on issues or anything.

[dtomvan]

Then I think you still have honeyfetch as a private repository. Because I cannot access it from here.

[dtomvan]

Sorry I didn't notice hub -> lab... to be fair at least 87 people are using freshfetch so it might still be useful to someone to have this in nixpkgs

[ahoneybun]

Should I close this MR in that case?
