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
