AFAIK, there has been no mention of an official backport. However, on my page I have: http://www.trausch.us/pidgin - Instructions/links for installing Pidgin from the packages that I have which have been backported from Gutsy. The 32-bit version and OTR/Guifications plugins have been done by myself; the 64-bit version was done by Neatchee. The 32-bit version has a script available for its installation; I did it that way because the older 32-bit version that I did wasn't 100% backported, while everything that is up there now is. — Mike -- Michael B.

I just feel more comfy taking everything that is built together and using that, if you know what I mean. :-) When you build the pidgin source package, you get gaim, pidgin, pidgin-data, pidgin-dev, pidgin-dbg as output binary packages.

Eep! Neatchee, those packages won't cleanly install as an upgrade—it's missing the dummy package! There should also be a gaim-2.0.2 package that has next to no bulk to it whatsoever—it's a dummy compatibility/upgrade package for systems like Feisty where gaim has to be replaced. Do you have that to go along with your packages, as well? -- Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is the registrant for Feisty Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports

That's all you though :) :-) I have a script for the 32-bit version, but I only wrote that to update from the previous version that I released that was broken (it used checkinstall to do its work, and checkinstall doesn't do things in an Ubuntu-compliant fashion). New installs can just dpkg -i * and then pull any deps manually, though I can easily modify my existing script to do that for users. It would probably be far easier to provide an apt repo, but I can't figure out how to set that up with the amount of time that I have available right now, so the script is the Right Thing. I will download these and get them up within 24 hours. — Mike -- Michael B. Trausch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (404) 592-5746 Jabber IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Demand Freedom!

If you could e-mail them to me in a tar file, I can get them up by tomorrow along with a script to automatically pull and install them. Unfortunately, I don't know quite how to do the APT repository dance, and so I would be perfectly willing to contribute the binary packages that I have (the src packages are available in the Feisty src tree) to someone that has an APT repo or is willing to create one. Incidentally, what is the status of the official backport to Feisty? Are there plans for one? It works quite well, and would be far better for everyone if they were added to feisty-backports. — Mike -- Michael B.

I have a new 32-bit version on my site: http://www.trausch.us/pidgin All of the packages are now backported from Gutsy, and I have a shell script that will manage the upgrade from my old checkinstall-generated packages to the ones backported from Gutsy. I can still do a 64-bit version soonish; I am planning on doing it anyway, all I need to do is install 64-bit Feisty onto another partition and build it there.

It has hundreds of bugfixes, though I don't know if any of the AMD64 GAIM bugs are fixed. I might be able to build an AMD64 version, though, at some point. I reverted to 32-bit Ubuntu because the 64-bit system was fine overall, but GAIM crashed a LOT—which I couldn't deal with. I can try making 64-bit packages later today. — Mike -- Michael B.

I don't know when there will be an official backport... however, I do have a package available (well, packages) available from http://www.trausch.us/pidgin/ where you can download a tarball with Pidgin 2.0.1 packages. Included in the tarball are the following: - gaim_2.0.1-1_all.deb: dummy upgrade package to satisfy the ubuntu-desktop dependency. - pidgin-data_2.0.1-1_all.deb - replaces gaim-data (backported from Gutsy, then updated to 2.0.1 from upstream) - pidgin_2.0.1-1_i386.deb - replaces gaim (backported from Gutsy, then updated to 2.0.1 from upstream) - pidgin-guifications_2.14-1_i386.deb - Guifications plugin (built w/ checkinstall with upstream tarball) - libotr_3.0.0-1_i386.deb - OTR library (built w/ checkinstall with upstream tarball) - pidgin-otr_3.0.0-1_i386.deb - OTR plugin (built w/ checkinstall with upstream tarball) The packages that are built with checkinstall will require that you uninstall the previous ones, if necessary (that is, you have to manually uninstall gaim-guifications, libotr, and gaim-otr from the Feisty system if you have them; they were not available from the Gutsy repo when I built Pidgin, though I can try to come up with the time tomorrow to make cleaner packages if necessary). However, DO NOT UNINSTALL GAIM, as the gaim/pidgin-data/pidgin packages will cleanly replace their Feisty counterparts. There seems to be two added dependencies, that you must fetch from the repositories: libmeanwhile1 and libavahi-compat-howl0, both of which can be installed from the repositories. libavahi-compat-howl0 is in Universe, while libmeanwhile1 is in Main. A note worth mentioning: While I have been using these packages since I built them on May 29 without issue, I am not supporting the packages actively. I am certainly willing to try to help with issues related directly to them, but I don't have a great deal of time due to school and all. I can be reached by Internet mail if there are any questions. I don't know how to go about getting anything done in the backports system, though, so this is about the best that I know how to, and can, do for now. Of course, 2.0.2 is out now, and I hear that 2.1.0 is coming soonish. If I have extra time I will update my packages to 2.0.2. And no, I don't have a repository setup, because I haven't had the time to figure out how to do all that yet, and I only expect to be keeping up with Pidgin until they are able to backport it. — Mike -- Michael B.

[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
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://www.trausch.us/pidgin/ if anyone is interested. The packages in the tar file will drop into an IA32 Feisty system. I have not had any issues with these binaries as of yet, and I have been using them for a little bit now. Note that while I am happy to provide the binaries to the entire world, I can't offer support for them; use them at your own risk if you choose to use them at all. But, it worked out with some minor tweaks to the build-deps in the Pidgin package, and it had been working for me since I built and installed it, so it seems good. -- Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is the registrant for Feisty Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
