Tortoise: No...but they say it works even if you don't believe in it. -- GEB, Hofstadter 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. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
