- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 221908 14-May-2011 uqs

fortune(6): fix typos and misspellings.

While here, drop words in the spelling files that are no longer used
anywhere.

Speling errors found via: codespell from Lucas De Marchi


# 205995 31-Mar-2010 uqs

Sync fortunes with other *BSDs

- Spelling errors
- Typographical fixes
- Consistent attributions
- Use Jr. more consistently
- Capitalization of dictionary-like entries
- Sorting using tools/do_sort
- Remove duplicate fortunes
- Style according to the Notes file
- Reflect correct default fortune name in Notes
- Remove some no longer needed spelling hints
- Drop latin1 characters (sorry MÃ¥rten)

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and
yours truly.

Typo; s/relied/replied


# 174425 07-Dec-2007 dougb

Sort these files using: sh ../tools/do_sort < $file > $file.sorted

This greatly aids in detecting duplicates, among other things.


# 174422 07-Dec-2007 dougb

This is a massive cleanup of the fortune files, including removal
of many duplicates, formatting/whitespace fixes, spelling fixes,
and a host of others. Note: No fortunes were intentionally removed
(other than duplicates) as part of this cleanup. In removing dupes
I tried to be generous in not removing similarly worded fortunes
that had even slightly different punch lines.

Duplicates were resolved as follows (in this order):
* + limerick -> limerick
* + fortunes-o.real -> fortunes-o.real
* + fortunes2-o -> fortunes2-o
* + zippy -> zippy
murphy + fortunes -> fortunes

In correcting spelling I've tried to leave colloquial variations
(especially British'isms) intact, as well as to not "correct"
errors that are part of the joke.

In fortunes and fortunes2-o I combined a couple of fortunes that
were adjacent to each other that seemed like they should have
originally been combined, and split a couple that seemed like they
should have originally been split.

Miscellaneous:
1. Fixed underlining
2. Capitalized proper names
3. Removed quotation marks from "freestanding" quotes for consistency
4. Added quotation marks to QOTD fortunes that needed them
5. Corrected or added many attributions
6. Removed apostrophes from trailing 's' that are plural, not possessive
7. Updated the path to fortune stuff included in some of the jokes
8. Updated several fortunes to their original version, and added attribution
9. Split up compound words that ispell tripped over


# 172849 21-Oct-2007 dougb

Fix a couple of small typos, and remove a duplicate


# 162709 27-Sep-2006 schweikh

Correct typo.


# 153734 26-Dec-2005 schweikh

Correct some typos.


# 150699 28-Sep-2005 schweikh

Nuke duplicates found via fuzzy logic:
- typos
- different spelling, punctuation, whitespace
- phonetically similar names
- words rearranged ("was once" vs "once was" etc)

If a limerick appeared as a single one and as part of a
double or triple, the singleton was removed.

With a little help from: sort limerick|uniq -d
This still turns up 20 lines being repeated, but the respective
limericks are sufficiently unique to leave them in (i.e. most differ
in at least two lines).

Nuke spaces in front of colons while I'm here.


# 145988 07-May-2005 schweikh

Nuke a corrupted duplicate.
Some white space and punctuation fixes.


# 141120 01-Feb-2005 ru

Ignore case and all non-word characters, and remove more duplicates.


# 141114 01-Feb-2005 ru

Removed full duplicates that only differ in amount of whitespace
and line breaks.


# 121031 12-Oct-2003 schweikh

Correct a typo (s/And/An/)


# 95677 28-Apr-2002 dougb

* Add $FreeBSD$ to limerick and zippy
* Delete trailing white space in all its forms. In addition to being
bad style in general, it also causes formatting, and other problems
for various third party items (like xscreensaver) which use fortunes
for their own purposes.

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r2490,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 2490 04-Sep-1994 jkh

Bring in the 4.4 Lite games directory, modulo man page changes and segregation
of the x11 based games. I'm not going to tag the originals with bsd_44_lite
and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection,
and I've got directory renames to deal with that way. Bleah.
