fortunes-freebsd-classic 2021.8.7

Classical fortune data files from FreeBSD

Installation

pip install fortunes-freebsd-classic

Classical FreeBSD fortune data files

DESCRIPTION

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Though I didn't want to remove any historical content, I decided to make 2 small modifications: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...
