If the gaim people are so great why did they not code it for the current
avaiable apps.
For tcl/tk support it requires tcl-8.3 Not the current tcl-8.4.
It will not build with gettext-0.12.
They offer rpms for mdk-9.1 and rh8 and 9 and will probably offer
them for mdk-9.2, but look at the spec they use.
It does not even build the damn language files.
There are always avenues avaiable for those who wish to upgrade apps
beyond that which is included in the distro.
Either building it themselves from source, or by acquiring it elsewhere
from others.
But do not expect it to be added as an update to an already committed
distros release.
Hell, if anyone wants/needs gaim-0.70 that much they are more than
welcome to dl the 9.2/Cooker rpms from my site.
BTW, they Do include the language files and are built to mdk
specifications.
