[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
Updated pidgin from 2.1.1-1ubuntu1 -- 2.1.1-2ubuntu2, and included a patch to force the offline message emulation plugin to a lower priority, thus preventing it from interfering with other plugins (like /exec). Previously, OME would set the message content to NULL to early in the handling order, and cause a segfault in slashexec if both plugins were enabled. Final versioning is 2.1.1-2ubuntu3~7.04prevu1 (we know this isn't an official ubuntu version, but we wanted to delineate the fact that this has the patch included, while preserving proper upgrading prioritizing) This update also splits the packages a bit differently. If you use finch, finch's development files, or the libpurple development files, you will need to take the additional step of installing those three packages: finch, finch-dev, and libpurple-dev, respectively. We've also updated the purple-plugin-pack from the guifications plugins team from 1.0 -- 2.1.1 (the coincidence of the versioning is not lost on us). An additional patch was added (bringing it up to a self- versioned 2.1.1-2~7.04prevu1) which stops slashexec from causing a segfault, even if it receives a NULL content message. For a full list of updates, you can visit the guifications page at http://plugins.guifications.org It should be noted that an official backport doesn't seem likely at this point. We've had some conversations with people behind the scenes here, and there are some...concerns. Mostly it seems they don't want to do the work involved with updating all the related packages (nautilus- sendto, etc, even though we've done all of the work we could find to do on related packages), but there's also an issue of trust. We're not known to the packaging team, and therefor aren't assumed as a trustworthy backporting team. if you'd like to see our work supported in an official capacity, let the good people at canonical know that our packages are safe, breakage-free, and complete :) As usual, all of this can be found over at http://www.trausch.us/pidgin -- 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

[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
Trausch and I have updated packages available on his website for Pidgin 2.1.0 We have i386 and AMD64 packages available, along with a plethora of plugins. You can grab them from http://www.trausch.us/pidgin (see below for more information on what packages are done) In an attempt to get this moving towards an official backport I'm going to try and get a handle on where we are with all related packages that have been presented in this bug report... Packages built and tested for i386 and AMD64 (available at http://www.trausch.us/pidgin): pidgin, pidgin-data, pidgin-dev, pidgin-dbg, libotr2, libotr2-dev, pidgin-otr, pidgin-guifications, pidgin-extprefs, pidgin-hotkeys, purple-plugin-pack, pidgin-blinklight, pidgin-lrvp, pidgin-libnotify, nautilus-sendto, gaim-xfire **Notes - 1. Many of these packages also have accompanying dummy transitional packages. 2. nautilus-sendto was compiled from a source build that is in testing, but awaiting upload to the Debian FTP (at which point it will move to stable), with an additional patch for transition from gaim to pidgin 3. gaim-xfire is built from the most recent snapshot available at http://gfire.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ It has not been thoroughly tested, but works cleanly as far as I can tell. Packages that have been abandoned by their maintainer: gaim-autoprofile, festival-gaim, gaim-xmms-remote (only activity in the past 289 was to move the newest version from testing to stable, but this package still does not support pidgin, so I'm going to assume it's abandoned unless I hear otherwise) Other packages: gaim-encryption has been upgraded to pidgin-encryption and included in gutsy, however our attempts to backport have been unsuccessful. pidgin- encryption requires libnspr4-dev to build (libnspr-dev fails), which in turn requires libnss3-dev (libnss-dev fails), which conflicts with the entire Feisty system pretty much (tries to remove gnome-desktop LOL). If anyone can lend their expertise on this item, it would be appreciated. gaim-irchelper has been merged into purple-plugin-pack gaim-themes has been merged into pidgin-data galago-gaim-feed is awaiting an update from the galago project team. Currently there are two conflicting patches in the trac. One patch transitions the package to pidgin (though I haven't tested it, and upon inspection, I'm skeptical of whether it works or not), while the other patch is from Ubuntu and adds German language support and fixes a timestamping problem. These two patches do not work together, and the galago team is due to update galago-gaim-feed soon anyway, based on their update schedule. Either way, I don't think there is very high demand for this plugin, though I could be wrong, not to mention that there is an Evolution integration plugin standard in pidgin now, so galago seems a bit superfluous, unless people are using it with other software. gnome-fifth-toe, meta-ul-desktop-base are package suites. They are empty packages that require a number of other packages. Basically a best of bundle. All that's needed is for the maintainers of these packages to change the dependencies from gaim to pidgin. pidgin-console, pidgin-consol-dev, and pidgin-console-data are all part of pidgin and pidgin-data. Simply run finch from a terminal. That's about all I've got on this. If anyone else has anything to add, please do, otherwise I'd like to get some input on what else needs to be done in order for this to be picked up as an official backport. -- 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

I'd like to interject that I don't think a simple backport of pidgin is possible. Yes, I know that it works fine - I'm using it myself - but there are integration problems. nautilus-sendto doesn't support pidgin because it has different dbus paths than gaim, for instance. There are also a large number of plugins that need to be backported with pidgin. If people really want a backport either an unofficial backport (as some have already posted) or a backport which can be installed side-by-side with gaim would be best. -- 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
[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
While pidgin does not properly integrate with nautilus-sendto, this is more of a convenience issue, isn't it? I've installed nautilus-sendto with pidgin, and while pidgin does not show up as a send-to option, it does not otherwise break nautilus-sendto. In addition, the functionality is still there (i.e. you can still send files via Pidgin, just not from a right-click menu). Convenience may be lost, yes, but it doesn't break anything. I think a bigger concern is the fact that other plugins don't work properly, such as pidgin-otr (the version of libotr2 and libotr2-bin available in the feisty repos has a bug that makes it not work with pidgin-otr. This is fixed in the next version of libotr2, which is still officially in testing [though I'm using it and it seems perfectly stable]) -- 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

No worries, boss! Pidgin_2.0.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1_amd64.deb Pidgin- data_2.0.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1_amd64.deb, both required to build a basic working install of Pidgin on AMD64 feisty. Backported from Gutsy source repositories using prevu. Tarball: http://www.ansemreport.com/neatchee/pidgin+pidgin- data_2.0.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1_amd64.tar Pidgin-dev_2.0.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1_amd64.deb pidgin- dbg_2.0.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1_amd64.deb, required for compiling some additional packages (such as Off the Record).

Tarball: http://www.ansemreport.com/neatchee/pidgin-dev+pidgin- dbg_2.0.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1_amd64.tar I might recommend running a test install, since this is my first backport XD Basically I just downloaded the source for each package, made the changes necessary to get it to successfully build on Feisty (in this case, change all dependencies on libnss3 to just libnss), built the debs using preview and installed. The prevu-built debs are what you're getting here. That should be all that needs to be done, correct? Unless you're going to add scripts to have it successfully replace Gaim installations.

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.

Hi Mike, I've have installed from repos (via apt) and have installed from source before. However, I haven't done much, if anything in-between (which this seems to be). Once this stuff gets in the repos, will I automatically get updates, etc. (as opposed to when I install from source)? BTW, here's a step-by-step for noobs (like me), because it took me a little while to figure out how to do it. I'd post it in your site's comments, but the comments are closed.

[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

[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
I guess it should be backported as fast as possible. Feisty is a final (stable) release, and the amount of beta packages on it should be minimized. And since gaim is no longer mantained (only pidgin), it sould be a good idea to backport the latest stable release it to get upstream support (and also a more stable version). I don't think we should wait for all the plugins to be released for pidgin since most of the people doesn't use any of them at all or only 2 or 3 (like guifications and extended prefs). Anyway, I think most of the users will be happy only with plain pidgin. And i really think some of the plugins will now be discontinued. And finally I don't consider not backporting some plugins a package breakage. All those plugins are recommends or suggests, not depends. Anyone who really needs a certain not-backported plugin should stick to gaim anyway. I guess backporting pidgin to feisty is only a matter of removing gaim from ubuntu-desktop (or changing it to gaim | pidgin) and repackaging it. Some upgrades might be necessary but i think people are already working on that. -- 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

[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
Pidgin has been in Gutsy for a while now. There are now several sources to get unofficial .debs from third party sources. That's a potential security risk, because theres no way of ensuring the content of the package. However, people seem to want it badly enough that they'll happily sudo away to install it. Also, version 2.0.1 is already out. Backporting this to Feisty is probably a good idea. At least make it easier to uninstall gaim. As it is now, people are breaking packages trying to get rid of it. -- 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

[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
Forgive my possible ignorance, but wouldn't the easiest way to install it, seeing it's in the gutsy repo's and all, be like this? sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.pidginbackup sudo sed -i 's/^deb \([^ ]*\) feisty\(-security\|-updates\|\) \([a-z ]*\)$/deb \1 gutsy\2 \3/' /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install gaim sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.pidginbackup /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update If it works in feisty, this oughta install the new gaim transitional package and therefore pidgin and all its dependencies.

[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty
So, i held my breath and went to try it. It complained about not having gaim's dependency pidgin in the repos (turns out dk.archive.ubuntu.com isn't quite up-to-date with gutsy). Then when i changed it to use a different mirror that had it, it said the same. So i tried to install pidgin directly (without the -y flag, to see what it offered first), but it gave me a huge load of dependencies that it wanted to install but couldn't. So much for that idea.
