A short recap for those of you who are subscribed to freebsd-ports@ but not freebsd-stable@: when I opened my inbox this morning I found a typical WTF thread: the (hardly) "offensive" fortune cookies have been kicked out of 10-BETA4. Since I (and many others) find this Just Plain Stupid (tm) I created a port to bring some sanity back into fortune(6).
Anyone running FreeBSD 10-BETA4 feel free to test the port and comment on it before I file the PR asking for it to be committed. A shar "patch" can be found here: http://www.skysmurf.nl/comp/FreeBSD/files/ofortune.shar Or alternatively, a tarball can be found in the same place: http://www.skysmurf.nl/comp/FreeBSD/files/ofortune.tar.gz To extract the shar file: # cd /usr/ports/games # sh /path/to/shar-file Or alternatively, to extract the tarball: # cd /usr/ports/games # tar xzvf /path/to/tarball Install via your favourite method, e.g. # cd /usr/ports/games/ofortune # make install or # portmaster games/ofortune PENDING ISSUES: -1- It's tentatively called ofortune. If you can think of a better name, then by all means shoot. -2- The accompanying webpage is crap. This is no priority ;-) -3- I have found the instructions for changing and/or adding to the fortune files but haven't tested them yet. -4- I wanted to mark the port as IGNORE for versions of FreeBSD prior to 10-BETA4. But this breaks stuff (see point 6) and I need to know exactly what the version number (OSVERSION) is for 10-BETA4. -5- Currently the port installs the "offensive" fortunes into /usr/local/share/ofortune, requiring every user to add that directory to their FORTUNE_PATH (hence the pkg-message). I tried adding an OPTION that would install it into the base /usr/share/games/fortune, but that again breaks stuff, see point 6. -6- It appears that for some reason conditionals don't work in the Makefile. For your reference, I have added the Makefile below, with the parts commented out that I think should work but don't. In both cases I get "Malformed conditional" errors. Any thoughts?
