Going by the other fortune file ports, misc/fortune-offensive or something very similar would be more appropriate. It's not really a game in itself and the others are in misc, so misc is probably more appropriate. > -4- > I wanted to mark the port as IGNORE for versions of FreeBSD prior to > 10-BETA4. But this breaks stuff (see point 6) and I need to know exactly > what the version number (OSVERSION) is for 10-BETA4. The fortunes were removed in one of the ALPHA releases if not before then (certainly before 10 was branched to -STABLE), so I'm sure it's fine to simply target 10. Anyone still running a version of 10 from when it was still -CURRENT can expect problems anyway. > COMMENT= The offensive fortune cookies that used to be in base. Perhaps it would be better to specify the version - e.g., "The offensive fortune cookies present the 9.x base system that were removed in 10.x."
