Comment 1 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-11-20 15:05:22 UTC
I can see an argument for splitting several off into cowsay-off;

bong
satan
sodomized

If this is acceptable I'll implement.

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2017-11-20 15:06:14 UTC
cowsay-tasteless?

Comment 3 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-11-20 15:07:57 UTC
Works for me.

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-11-20 15:13:53 UTC
Works for me.

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2017-11-20 15:20:14 UTC
I personally would be fine to just remove it. I can't really imagine a situation in which this is a good idea, or actually funny, let alone useful.

cowsay-3.04-7.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-99ea13f8ec

Comment 7 Matthias Runge 2017-11-20 16:07:54 UTC
I would really argue in favour of simply removing offensive content.

As said, I think it is at least questionable in some countries to distribute such content at all.

Comment 8 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-11-20 16:15:05 UTC
Fair enough. I'll make that change.

Comment 9 Matthias Runge 2017-11-20 16:24:26 UTC
(In reply to Gwyn Ciesla from comment #8)

Comment 13 Drew 2018-11-29 23:53:21 UTC
Why is there not just a cowsay-off? Debian has this, and it would certainly solve the legal problem.
