 |
|
I hope I posted in the right forum.
On my 2008.0 PPC copy of Gentoo, I typed this for fun:
| Code: | | emerge --search moo |
This brings me a cow, then all search results with the string moo. Apparently, typing moo after emerge at any point (like emerge moo or emerge --pretend moo) will give you the cow! I did a quick search and didn't find this posted.

Seems like every decent package manager includes a moo. Debian moo seems more advanced, though. Maybe the portage moo should be developed further?

well since it doesn't change, it most likely is just copied into the source from a cowsay output

What does it say in easteregg2.ogv? The first one spells "Thank you for using Portage " I think.
I'm too old for things that move quickly.
/edit: never mind, I read over the advice referring to "-fps 2" -- guess I don't pay too much attention after all. |

If you want to spoil it the complete list of strings is in /usr/bin/emerge around line 68.
The moo output is hardcoded near the end (search for moo). |
