Do you need help with packaging this and want someones guidance? Otherwise I'd say you could take other distros packages as inspiration/starting point.

For example > archlinux: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/fortune-mod/ 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. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
