Package: fortunes
Version: 1:1.99.1-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear fortunes maintainer, attached is a patch including new quotes from Steve
Jobs into the fortune database. These fortunes have been collected from the web
(Wikiquote and other sources) and placed in where (I believed) were the most
appropiate datfiles.
Thanks for considering this patch,
Regards
Javier
