jargon

About

Spawned from a bout of nostalgia and some free time.

The contents of jargon.txt.gz were originally derived from the Internet Archive:

lynx \
    --dump \
    --width 145 \
    --nonumbers \
    ${INTERNET_ARCHIVE_URL} | gzip --best -c > jargon.txt.gz

Build

Build using cargo:

cargo build --release

This will update src/lib.rs in-place. The resulting changes can be ignored with:

git update-index \
    --assume-unchanged \
    src/lib.rs

Running

This can be run locally using cargo:

cargo run --release

Alternatively, having built it as above, the resulting binary located in target/release/jargon can be executed directly:

./target/release/jargon

Releases

Releases are available as deb and rpm packages.
