# Cowsay Debian Packages
|
|
|
|
Unofficial, up-to-date `.deb` packages for **cowsay**, built from the latest [cowsay-org](https://github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay) source code.
|
|
|
|
## ¿Why does this exist?
|
|
The official Debian repositories are stuck on version `3.03+dfsg2` (from 2016/2020) and are currently unmaintained. This means missing features, missing cows, and no "actually..." meme cow.
|
|
|
|
This repo provides pre-built packages for the latest upstream version so you don't have to compile it yourself.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Download the latest `.deb` from the `pool/main/` folder and install it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dpkg -i cowsay_3.8.4-1_all.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*(Optional)* If you want the offensive/classic cows (bong, beavis, etc):
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dpkg -i cowsay-off_3.8.4-1_all.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What's new in 3.8.4?
|
|
* **"actually..." cow** (The meme!)
|
|
* **"sus" cow** (Among Us crewmate)
|
|
* Alpaca, Fox, Cupcake, and Llama cows.
|
|
* Numerous bug fixes from upstream.
|
|
|
|
## Build it yourself
|
|
If you don't trust my binaries (good for you!), you can build it using the Debian source packaging provided in the official [cowsay-org repo](https://github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay).
