pip install fortunes-freebsd-classic
This package contains the classical data files for the FreeBSD fortune utility.
I took the safe guarded version from Koitsu's fortune-mod-freebsd-classic repository. He deserves praise for preserving this important part of Unix history & culture.
Though I didn't want to remove any historical content, I decided to make 2 small modifications:
- As was originally intended, the offensive files have been rot13 processed in order to protect overly sensible eyes (modern fortune implementations are able to use them directly)
- Quotes from certain 20th century dictators have been moved into the offensive files...
| Filename | Changes |
|---|---|
| fortunes | Some quotes moved to fortunes-o |
| fortunes-o | ROT13 |
| gerrold.limerick | None |
| limerick | None |
| murphy | None |
| murphy-o | ROT13 |
| startrek | None |
| zippy | None |
These data files are intended to be used with the PNU project's re-implementation of the fortune command.
The original materials were made available under The FreeBSD Project & University of California Berkeley BSD License.
Hubert Tournier for the package.
A lot of people for the fortune files contents!
