## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

`fortune` is the Unix fortune-cookie command: a terminal program that prints a random quotation from local quote databases. The Homebrew package tracks fortune-mod, the Linux-oriented continuation of the older BSD fortune tradition.

### プロジェクトの歴史

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.

### 採用の歴史

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.

### 使われ方

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.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

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.

### タイムライン

- 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.
