Tagada, “La Vie en Rose” according to xbright
Beware, this is about Ubuntu, this is serious, but here, English speakers might miss the whole meaning. I’ll try to explain.
It all started in the small ubuntu@chat.jabberfr.org room, when xbright showed us a thread on ubuntu-fr forum. The question was completely unreadable, non-understandable, and xbright answered with “Tagada tsoin tsoin” which does not mean anything, which is sort of a sentence you say to end up something in a funny way.
In addition, Fraise Tagada are very famous candies here in France, it’s part of the culture (love them, BTW).
So we were kidding about this, and xbright spent the whole night putting that to bash!
He came up with a Tagada script that replace all the sudo, aptitude, install, remove and such with very funny aliases, all from SMS and kids language:
commands list: plop : updates package list pouet : (old fashion horn sound) downloads and upgrades gropouet : (big pouet) downloads and dist-upgrades padechichi : (no fuss) updates package list then downloads and installs updates osekour : (au secours = help) help and command list kiélkon : (who is the idiot, but in a more offensive way ;-)) copyright infos pabo : (pas beau = not beautiful) removes a package trépabo : (very not beautiful) purges a package konépa : (connais pas = dunnot know) looks for a package in the list - search kicésa : (qui c’est ça = who is this) gives info on a package - show kékive : (qu’est-ce qu’il veut = what does it want) gives a package dependence list - depends tsouin tsouin : installs a package
Follow the script updates on xbright’s blog, as more is coming (install several packages for ex, as tsoin tsoin
only installs one package) and the brainstorming in u-fr thread or in ubuntu@chat.jabberfr.org (all in French, sorry, the jabber room gets most of its traffic during the evening hours in France).
We’ve also spoken about getting funny insults from sudo
when you mistype your password (there is already an option in the sudoers
file for that, but all in english) and about an English localisation. We need some input to get this translated.
Thanks xbright, that is a lot of fun!
