The Homebrew package tracks fortune-mod, the Linux-oriented continuation of the older BSD fortune tradition. ### Historique du projet The current upstream describes fortune-mod as a maintenance version of the Unix `fortune` command. Its README says fortune-mod was originally forked from NetBSD fortune and ported to Linux, then later maintained from a Git import of the 1.99.1 tarball sourced via a Mageia source RPM. The ibiblio Linux archive preserves a 1997 `fortune-mod-9708.tar.gz` package described as bug fixes and enhancements to NetBSD fortune, strfile, and unstr. The same archive shows surrounding quote collections for different languages and desktop uses, capturing the way fortune files spread as data packages as much as programs. ### Historique d'adoption fortune-mod became the common `fortune` implementation on Linux distributions. The upstream README documents installation via Fedora, Arch, Alpine, Debian-derived systems, and source builds, and the supplied package facts show package entries across Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Alpine, and openSUSE. ### Modes d'utilisation The common use is deliberately small: run `fortune` to print a random quote. The package also includes tools such as `strfile` and `unstr` for building and inspecting the indexed `.dat` files used by fortune databases. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent fortune is package-manager folklore: a tiny CLI whose real payload is a corpus of text files, traditionally split into normal, offensive, localized, and site-specific databases. It is useful to package historians because it connects BSD games, Linux distribution patches, data packaging, and terminal culture. ### Chronologie - 1979: The original BSD `fortune` program predates modern scripting-language reimplementations, according to the upstream README. - 1997: ibiblio archived `fortune-mod-9708.tar.gz` for Linux fortune users. - 2016: The current `shlomif/fortune-mod` GitHub repository was created. - 2020: The upstream README credited Shlomi Fish with maintaining fortune-mod from version 2.0.0 onward. - 2026: GitHub Releases listed fortune-mod 3.26.0. ### Related projects - The package is related to BSD games, NetBSD fortune, localized fortune collections, Shlomi Fish's fortune cookie files, XML-Grammar-Fortune, and reimplementations in Perl, Python, Go, and Rust that the upstream README lists as alternatives. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Autres enregistrements de gestionnaires de paquets - Nix - fortune: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/fo/fortune/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - fortune - 0.1-r4: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: fortune from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Fortune cookie program ported from OpenBSD | https://github.com/ahills/fortune - apk - fortune-doc - 0.1-r4: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: fortune-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Fortune cookie program ported from OpenBSD (documentation) | https://github.com/ahills/fortune - zypper - fortune - 2.10.0-2.8: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: fortune from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Random Saying | ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/games/amusements/fortune/ - MacPorts - fortune: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: games/fortune/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
