From http://www.redellipse.net/code/fortune/: There are quite a few differences between this version of fortune, and the one which is currently available for most distributions. These changes include: * Some internationalisation support * UTF-8 support * Zillions of extra fortunes that have been suggested to the Debian maintainers over the last 5 years * Number of spelling fixes. * Fixes to REGEXPs searches * Changes in percentage allocations * A few bug fixes * A Y2K compliant version number * Some other stuff I've probably forgotten about ;-) I had a problem with the '-m' option, which is supposed to search for fortunes matching an arbitrary regexp. It would segfault sometimes without printing anything, and other times it would print out a few fortunes and then segfault. I found the offending code in fortune.c in matches_in_list() on line 1581: if (fp->utf8_charset) free (output); I'm not exactly sure how the whole function works, but when i removed this code the '-m' option worked fine. Emailing the maintainer about this. Oh yeah, and portage thinks that 1.99.1 is older than 9708. Is there a way to specify version order in the ebuild? lsmod@hotmail.com 2004-03-06 12:35:49 0000 Created an attachment (id=26952) fortune-mod-1.99.1.ebuild wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2004-03-08 05:56:23 0000 Hrrrmn... unfortunately, there is no way that I know of to "force" an ebuild to install over another. I think we'll definitely need to investigate this one a bit more before we can add it. mr_bones_@gentoo.org 2004-03-08 10:54:37 0000 No problem. First we add the new version to portage, then mask the old version in profiles/package.mask. It's pretty straight forward. lsmod@hotmail.com 2004-03-08 12:19:17 0000 >No problem. First we add the new version to portage, then mask the old version in profiles/package.mask. It's pretty straight forward. I know we can do that, but do you guys think specifying version order would be a good idea for portage? It would probably only be a good idea if there are other packages out there that do something funky like this. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2004-03-18 16:39:51 0000 That would be useful in these few fringe cases where it happens, butit would make for a pretty hefty maintenance nightmare to keep up with version orders, unless it was completely optional. SpanKY, what's the plan on this one? vapier@gentoo.org 2004-03-18 18:04:27 0000 9708 becomes 1.0.9708 and we delete 9708 then we add 1.99.1 as unstable everyone in stable goes to 1.0.9708 (it's a small program so i dont care about the recompile hassle) while everyone in unstable goes to 1.99.1 wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2004-05-12 14:30:08 0000 This has been done in CVS 26952 2004-03-06 12:35 0000 fortune-mod-1.99.1.ebuild fortune-mod-1.99.1.ebuild text/plain IyBDb3B5cmlnaHQgMTk5OS0yMDA0IEdlbnRvbyBUZWNobm9sb2dpZXMsIEluYy4KIyBEaXN0cmli dXRlZCB1bmRlciB0aGUgdGVybXMgb2YgdGhlIEdOVSBHZW5lcmFsIFB1YmxpYyBMaWNlbnNlIHYy CiMgJEhlYWRlcjogL2hvbWUvY3Zzcm9vdC9nZW50b28teDg2L2dhbWVzLW1pc2MvZm9ydHVuZS1t b2QvZm9ydHVuZS1tb2QtOTcwOC1yMS5lYnVpbGQsdiAxLjMgMjAwNC8wMi8yMCAwNjo0Mzo1OCBt cl9ib25lc18gRXhwICQKCmluaGVyaXQgZXV0aWxzCgpERVNDUklQVElPTj0iVGhlIG5vdG9yaW91 cyBmb3J0dW5lIHByb2dyYW0iCkhPTUVQQUdFPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnJlZGVsbGlwc2UubmV0L2Nv ZGUvZm9ydHVuZS8iClNSQ19VUkk9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cucmVkZWxsaXBzZS5uZXQvY29kZS9kb3du bG9hZHMvJHtQfS50YXIuZ3oiCgpMSUNFTlNFPSJCU0QiClNMT1Q9IjAiCktFWVdPUkRTPSJ+eDg2 IgpJVVNFPSJvZmZlbnNpdmUiCgpERVBFTkQ9InZpcnR1YWwvZ2xpYmMKCWFwcC10ZXh0L3JlY29k ZSIKClsgYHVzZSBvZmZlbnNpdmVgIF0gJiYgb2ZmPTEgfHwgb2ZmPTAKCnNyY191bnBhY2soKSB7 Cgl1bnBhY2sgJHtBfQoJY2QgJHtTfQoJCglzZWQgLWkgXAoJCS1lICdzOi9nYW1lczo6JyBcCgkJ LWUgJ3M6L2ZvcnR1bmVzOi9mb3J0dW5lOicgXAoJCS1lICdzOkZPUlRESVI9JChwcmVmaXgpL3Vz cjpGT1JURElSPSQocHJlZml4KS91c3IvYmluOicgXAoJCS1lICJzOl5DRkxBR1M9LiokOkNGTEFH Uz1cJChERUZJTkVTKSAke0NGTEFHU306IiBcCgkJTWFrZWZpbGUKCXNlZCAtaSAnczpjaGFyIGEs IGI7OnNob3J0IGludCBhLCBiOzonIHV0aWwvcm90LmMKCgkjIGZpeGVzIHRoZSAnLW0nIHNlZ2Zh dWx0IHByb2JsZW0gb24gX215XyBjb21wdXRlciwgaXQgbWlnaHQgc2NyZXcgc29tZXRoaW5nIGVs c2UgdXAgaSBkb24ndCBrbm93IGFib3V0LgoJc2VkIC1pIFwKCQknL2lmIChmcC0+dXRmOF9jaGFy c2V0KS97CgkJCU4KCQkJL2ZyZWUgKG91dHB1dCk7L2QKCQl9JyBmb3J0dW5lL2ZvcnR1bmUuYwp9 CgpzcmNfY29tcGlsZSgpIHsKCWVtYWtlIFwKCQlPRkZFTlNJVkU9IiR7b2ZmfSIgXAoJCXx8IGRp ZQp9CgpzcmNfaW5zdGFsbCgpIHsKCW1ha2UgXAoJCU9GRkVOU0lWRT0iJHtvZmZ9IiBcCgkJcHJl Zml4PSIke0R9IiBcCgkJaW5zdGFsbCBcCgkJfHwgZGllCgoJZG9kb2MgQ2hhbmdlTG9nIElOREVY IElOU1RBTEwgTm90ZXMgT2ZmZW5zaXZlIFJFQURNRSBUT0RPIGNvb2tpZS1maWxlcwp9Cg==
