I've made a new version of fortune available for installation.
As of version 1.99.1-1, the fortune database has been reorganized and
recategorized. See /usr/share/doc/fortune-1.99.1/{cookie-files,Offensive}.
If you happen across offensive fortunes in the supposedly unoffensive
files, report them to cygwin@cygwin.com and they will be moved if
appropriate. You will get faster response if you also take the time
to file a debian bug report (see README.Debian.offensive in
/usr/share/doc/fortune-1.99.1/debian). If you want to audit the
fortune files for offensiveness, do *not* report your results to
cygwin@cygwin.com; instead, pester the upstream maintainer (see
canonical homepage above).
All debian version 1.99.1-1 patches to the data files have been
applied (see http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/fortune-mod),
including spelling changes and removal of a number of German quotes.
(Debian provides several language specific fortune datafile packages
that are as yet not distributed in cygwin.)
Removed use of recode, since the recode library seems to have problems;
instead use fake recode functions using iconv. The problems with iconv
that led to fortune changing to recode are somewhat mitigated by using
iconv's transliteration option. This should be a temporary measure.
For a brief description of this package, and a listing of the files it
contains, see http://cygwin.com/packages/ .
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. setup.exe is the utility that cygwin uses to install and
update its packages.
