Replace index() and rindex() calls with strchr() and strrchr().
The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001 revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision. The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen already perform strchr() calls.

Combine the fortunes-o.real and the fortunes2-o file, as was done with fortunes and fortunes2 2 years and 2 days ago. The fortunes2-o file was brought in with the original import of the 4.4 Lite games directory, but has always consisted in large part of fortunes duplicated from other files.
The combined size of the two files is still only 631K, or less than 1/3rd of the size of the fortunes file.
Combining them has the added benefit of making the fortunes from fortunes2-o visibile to fortune(6)'s -m option.

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

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).

My change, namely srandomdev() addition, was backed out even without discussing with me, and I obviously disagree seeing that afterwards (srandomdev() back out not fix any thing, it can only mask the problem).
So, back out the back out and return srandomdev().
People who have problems with repeated quotes should use -D fortune option for debugging to see is the problem in (1) /dev/random initialization or in (2) fortune code itself.
I will be glad to help, but I can't reproduce repeated quote situation on my machine.
In either case found, (1) or (2) should be fixed instead of removing srandomdev().

o Move NTOHL() and associated macros into <sys/param.h>. These are deprecated in favor of the POSIX-defined lowercase variants. o Change all occurrences of NTOHL() and associated marcros in the source tree to use the lowercase function variants. o Add missing license bits to sparc64's <machine/endian.h>. Approved by: jake o Clean up <machine/endian.h> files. o Remove unused __uint16_swap_uint32() from i386's <machine/endian.h>. o Remove prototypes for non-existent bswapXX() functions. o Include <machine/endian.h> in <arpa/inet.h> to define the POSIX-required ntohl() family of functions. o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>, and <sys/param.h>. o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that happen to make use of endian-specific defines. o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header. o Remove some now unneeded pollution from <sys/types.h>. o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local removal).
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now, since it's only an example file.

Don't include "${.CURDIR}/../../Makefile.inc" explicitly. Doing so was a bogus no-op in the usual case where fortune/ is a subdir of games/ (since <bsd.prog.mk> does an equivalent include automatically if possible), but breaks building fortune when fortune/ is outside of the games/ tree (since the include was unconditional here). This fix depends on a previous fix for non-recursiveness of ../Makefile.inc (it didn't exist).

The "laws" were extracted from a S/370 Assembler program on a SHARE tape. The comments in the program:
*---------------------------------------------------------------------* * 'MURPHY' THE OLE PHILOSOPHER 18 AUGUST 1988 * * * * MURPHY WAS FOUND ON A JES2 TAPE OF ALL PLACES WITH ABOUT * * 500 OR SO SAYINGS. GOT ANOTHER 250 FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE * * AND HAVE ADDED ABOUT 100 OR SO MYSELF. * * * [list of changes omitted] * * * JIM MARSHALL, CAPT, USAF * * (301) 688-6829 * * * *---------------------------------------------------------------------*
Fortunes that a sufficiently twisted mind could perceive as offensive have been moved to murphy-o. Thanks to the submitter for reviewing these fortunes.

Back out rev 1.21. bde and dcs convinced me that all this is messed up anyway, and there can't be any solution that will universally work in any case (make world, cross-compilation, simple `make' without `make world' after incompatible options have been added to strfile, ...)

Revert to 1.19. ${.OBJDIR}/../strfile must be taken out, since it breaks the cross-compilation case, but I'm not the one doing it. $$PATH *will* have a new strfile in /usr/bin built at build-tools time, unless you defined NOTOOLS.
If you defined NOTOOLS and it breaks for you, don't do that.
If you did not define NOTOOLS but things are not working, the error is elsewhere. See logs for src/Makefine.inc1, particularly rev 1.36, and revision 1.14 of this file.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment, like so;
.\" $Id$ .\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines. Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

Fixed building without /usr/games in $PATH. Just add /usr/games to the _end_ of $PATH before using tools that are normally in /usr/games. I broke this in rev.1.9 by assuming that these tools are in $PATH (as they are for `make world' unless NOTOOLS is set). Revs.1.10-1.13 of this file had various wrong fixes. Rev.1.18 of src/Makefile.inc1 has an incomplete fix.

Back out the last two hacks. I've added games to the (correct) build path in src/Makefile.inc. The code that I'm backing out didn't work anyway since exists() checks for a file in .PATH (and /usr/games/strfile doesn't exist there), so the test was always defaulting to ../strfile/strfile which breaks cross-compiled builds.

Use the installed versions of caesar and strfile. They are now bootstrapped by `make world', and the installed versions are just as likely to work as the installed version of cc if `make' is run directly.

Allow fortune to use /dev/urandom if available to obtain its random numbers. If /dev/urandom is unavailable, it will fall back to using the random() function.
I did this because I'm sick of seeing the same handful of fortunes over and over, and I've seen the exact same fortune one too many times when starting up two login shells at the same time.

Fixed annoying non-null output for `make depend'. SRCS should only be used for C, C++ and assembler sources if <bsd.prog.mk> is included. It was used for general files. This caused the __depend_* lists in <bsd.dep.mk> to be empty, so mkdep was never run, so .depend never existed, so it was always out of date, so `rm -f .depend' was always executed to update it.
