[Bug 112511] Re: Backport Pidgin 2.0.0 Final to Fiesty

[Michael Trausch]

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.
