A no-nonsense, user-extensible fortune-mod replacement.
- Sensible: I'm fed up with fortunes about men hating their wives.
- Straightforward: No weird formats. Plain text with
\nescape sequences; easy to add or remove content.
This project was originally built in Rust, and I migrated it to C# primarily to test out bflat.
fortune-cs starts by selecting a category file, then a line, so the user will
see a normal representation of each file. Then, it selects a line from the file.
The fortune files themselves can be extended just by appending;
cat b.txt >> a.txt is a perfectly valid way of merging two files.
Release Binary
Copy the compiled binary from the releases page
to a directory in $PATH, such as /usr/bin/.
From Source
Clone the source repository and either use the prewritten just
recipe with the command just build, or run bflat build ./src/Program.cs if
you'd rather set your build options manually.
Release Tarball
Copy the base-fortunes.tar.gz tarball from the releases page,
extract the archive using tar xzf base-fortunes.tar.gz, and move the
resulting .txt files to /usr/share/fortune-cs/.
From Source
Clone the source repository and copy the files from the data/ directory to
/usr/share/fortune-cs.
