My only guess is that at the time Lenny froze, pidgin had not yet implemented support. Backports are fairly safe, especially for desktop systems IMO. You will also find that some of the protocols (yahoo IIRC), is broken in the Lenny pidgin due to the service changing their protocol. I recommend grabbing it from backports. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJMEN+5AAoJEKj/C3qNthmTt3MQALALeB9Je9Yp7F8O6M/X7hr6 gpl+/9EpEeQ375bI86gaCtspAqtwm3w8BXLHzDcnvUc8mcDFO+bDiJjscmS9awdu EFxmkQx7DTuggY87KxEx/QWbRS+eEZvEl0HWllvqGdfGtUNl64VFMpBcYqEqJSRl uD6BnQ/lZVql+W5zmhi93Txoi9KIfvOumgjW/BM4/+dPJVJfk7BDwY3zxHHHOItk gNjQgDHKnL9voj+4OvFhpYvs/m/+c+tIQW2Nv2lZ7lgFilNWXCIj6Ioryje/4rT+ QyXr4XY4kGaZA9GWWbH2vZ6X6bg3PYJxiJUcETKy94mk2RuSb1a21Z6qrI3u/sBS Cu74l/AKyydx9cYOu/BiXYk/aFBVnc2VmenPVpMYO9zrUSZ+oQn8FYYWoNnmFgzB F0vRHEkev4xSWRHGWmPqxb4AzqTuQbPsayd47gA2cT2/k8jgsrqPSmc5P4NGgGPH kGOATN0sFolHkalCmN5LLESaitB3s2Z2mTcsEuOEPbf1wy7EHwhSljUuoDtixBnC qD9HYXXwZqh104gF1MSoKD4pX9qCtKylI3FJR3baJWw1ikfZ5i3KKxhMM2KA0x4k UV1Gwq8MrmPkv/NXma+qRd8DC7fweiQI1uq6fx9DwN7Kd1EOPJuSvrPmZpAJ/X2Q vwdUjGq+HcrweqZ+O6S1 =rg5Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
