The official repository isn't directly available anymore because http://www.redellipse.net/code/fortune is down.

We could use this maintained repository of fortune-mod on GitHub:
	https://github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod

Or we could use the latest official release, hosted by Arch or Debian.
	https://sources.archlinux.org/other/fortune-mod/
	http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fortune-mod/

It might also help to look into the Nix package definition, by the way:
	https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/misc/fortune/default.nix

If nobody wants to do this, I could probably create a package for this next week.
