The official repository isn't directly available anymore because 
http://www.redellipse.net/code/fortune is down.

We could use this maintained repository of fortune-mod on GitHub:
        https://github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod

Or we could use the latest official release, hosted by Arch or Debian.
        https://sources.archlinux.org/other/fortune-mod/
        http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fortune-mod/

It might also help to look into the Nix package definition, by the way:
        
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/misc/fortune/default.nix

If nobody wants to do this, I could probably create a package for this next 
week.
