Description Zombie Ryushu 2020-06-11 17:54:28 MSK
Also due to the deletion of Mercurial repositories from Bitbucket we have added a new mirroring site for our downloads. We understand that many people still have trust issues with SourceForge but they are still the primary source for our files, which we do cryptographically sign. For those of you that still prefer another option we have started mirroring our downloads on Bintray. We will eventually be putting all of our previous releases there as well, but right now it just contains the files for the 2.14.0 release.

Finally, this release will be the last 2.x.0 release of Pidgin. What that means is that we will no longer be writing nor accepting new features into the Pidgin 2 code base. We are doing this to put all of our focus going forward on Pidgin 3. However, if there are bug fixes or security issues we will of course release Pidgin 2.14.1, 2.14.2, etc as necessary.

Can we get a Rosa 2016.1 port?
Comment 2 Zombie Ryushu 2021-04-01 23:41:05 MSK
Pidgin 2.14.2 released.
Comment 3 Giovanni Mariani 2021-05-18 17:57:05 MSK
I have ready 2.4.14 for 2016.1.
However it now requires the libgnt library (it was extracted as standalone package from the original pidgin sources) and 2016.1 has this package in Contrib and thus it cannot be used for building packages in Main...

So someone more powerful than myself need to put libgnt in Main and only then I will be able to update pidgin for Rosa 2016.1.
As an alternative, I could build pidgin without the ncurses UI (finch): is that OK from an user POV?
Comment 4 Zombie Ryushu 2021-05-18 20:41:35 MSK
Thats fine with me, as I don't use Finch. for Terminal oriented Pidgin, I use Spectrum2, However, my say-so may not be enough here. You need to contact the people from Main. Make them aware of the problem.

Some of them are already CC-ed...
If nobody answers in the next week, I will go with the no-finch option for 2016.1 (2019.1 is not a problem).

pidgin Crash on XMPP connection:  Pidgin 2.14.6 были с ошибками сегментации и попытались просмотреть файл ядра.
Это глюк в программе и вы тут не виноваты.

Если вы можете повторить возникновение ошибки, пожалуйста уведомите
разработчиков, создав отчёт об ошибке на:
https://pidgin.im/development/простая карточка/

Пожалуйста, будьте готовы описать как всё произошло в тот момент
и представить вывод командной строки файла ядра.  Если вы не знаете
как его вывести, пожалуйста, прочитайте инструкцию на

Can I have an English description of the steps to reproduce the issue?
Comment 9 Zombie Ryushu 2021-08-16 19:32:23 MSK
I have no idea, but would you test an XMPP connection?

> I have no idea, but would you test an XMPP connection?

Never used such things... it's because of this that I need some guidance to reproduce the issue.
Comment 11 Zombie Ryushu 2021-08-17 23:21:13 MSK
I would but it would create a seconday issue for me as my older version still uses the AIM/Oscar Module for something called Phoenix and I don't know how to build AIM/Oscar as an external yet.

pidgin Crash on XMPP connection:  Pidgin 2.14.6 had segmentation errors
  and tried to browse the kernel file.
This is a glitch in the program and you are not to blame here.

  If you can repeat the error, please notify
  developers by filing a bug report on:
https://pidgin.im/development/simple card /

  Please be prepared to describe how it all happened at that moment.
  and present the command line output of the kernel file. If you don't know
  how to display it, please read the instructions on
  https://pidgin.im/development/wiki/GetABacktrace
  dns [10934]: nobody needs me ... = (
Emergency stop (impression taken)
Comment 13 Zombie Ryushu 2021-08-18 15:49:24 MSK
Giovaanni, I may need a secondat pigin-purple-aim plugin package that builds aim and liboscar in a separate Package.
Comment 14 Zombie Ryushu 2021-08-18 17:25:23 MSK
There was an issue with purple-carbons. Purple-carbons had to be rebuilt.
Comment 15 Vladimir Potapov 2021-11-26 12:28:17 MSK
I am removing the request flag. After the fix please check the qa box again.
