Gaim 2.0b6 -> Pidgin 2.0 final?
I would like to know the plans for Pidgin in Feisty, if there are any. I've tried compiling it from source with auto-apt and checkinstall, but I keep getting an error because it wants to overwrite a file in gcc or something. Since the current version is a beta, is there any chance of Pidgin final being included in the repositories? I realize it only came out today, so I'm not rushing those who would be involved; I'd just like to know what's going on, or what I'm doing wrong in the event that I/we need to wait for Gutsy for it.
As a sidenote, I'd love to contribute to something, but I have no idea where to start or if I have the time/energy/skill etc. Thnx.

I too tried to compile it using checkinstall to no avail, so I compiled it from source directly without checkinstall and I'm using it now. You can give it a try, in case of problem, just let me know and I try to help.
Regarding your question about release 2 ported to Feisty: please read: https:/
I checked packages.ubuntu.com and I see a gaim version there. Please see http://
Regarding your last question: you can start here: https:/
Hope this helps.
Regards.

I found a .deb in the forums that worked, and I filed a backport-bug, though I guess a bit too early. I'll have to keep an eye on when it becomes available in Gusty and file it again. Thanks for the info/suggestions, though.

Pidgin is avaible in Gutsy from now.

I backported Pidgin 2.0.0 from the Gusty repo, and then updated it to 2.0.1, and built it along with OTR and Guifications (the two major external plugins that I use). The Pidgin packages are from Gusty's source and built (after being updated to Pidgin 2.0.1) and the OTR and Guifications packages were done with checkinstall because I couldn't figure out how to debianize them properly. They are all available in a tarball on my site though, at http://

Pidgin 2.1.0 is out, and we (Neatchee and myself) have an APT repository up now. Information on the available packages and such is on the web: http://
Enjoy!

Neatchee deserves credit, too. He did half (or more!) of the work, and
while sick even.
