Hi, all! apjanke here.
Gareth is right: https://github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay is intended to be a continuation of support for cowsay in the original author's spirit. It's intended to be a place for "live" maintenance of cowsay since the original repo seems to have gone abandonware. I plan on maintaining this cowsay by: * Accepting bug fixes * Accepting some new cows, within reason (TODO: define a policy for "within reason") * Improving release & packaging stuff so it plays nice with downstream packagers * Extending the $COWPATH mechanism to make it easier for users or system maintainers to "plug in" multiple additional collection of cows into a vanilla cowsay installation Aside from that, I plan to keep it "simple & fun" in the spirit of the original author, and not introduce any significant new functionality or architecture changes. I do not plan on accepting large numbers of new cows; instead, the $COWPATH extension should support publishing of new cow collections as separate packages or directories at the distro, host, or user level. I'd be happy to serve as the new upstream for the Debian package, incorporating some of the existing Debian patches (and have already pulled some of them in), and doing other modifications as needed to make life easier for the Debian package maintainers. Thanks for your interest! Cheers, Andrew
