This is the great pidgin stabilization bug. For amd64, hppa, ppc, ppc64, sparc, x86 x86-fbsd which have gaim stable and ~arch on pidgin, please mark stable. x86-fbsd, do as you wish, since you don't have any gaim version stable. For alpha, arm, ia64 and mips (vapier?), pidgin has none of those keywords, so you'll be regressed when gaim is p.masked. These are the packages to mark stable: net-im/pidgin-2.1.0 net-im/librvp-0.9.6 x11-plugins/guifications-2.14 x11-plugins/pidgin-encryption-3.0 x11-plugins/pidgin-extprefs-0.7 x11-plugins/pidgin-hotkeys-0.2.3 x11-plugins/pidgin-libnotify-0.13 x11-plugins/pidgin-rhythmbox-2.0 x11-plugins/purple-plugin_pack-1.0 Please also be aware that in the near future, the following packages will be added to package.mask # These plugins are no longer maintained upstream # and have not been ported to pidgin app-accessibility/festival-gaim net-im/gaim-blogger net-im/gaim-bnet x11-plugins/autoprofile x11-plugins/bangexec x11-plugins/gaim-assistant x11-plugins/gaim-galago x11-plugins/gaim-xfire x11-plugins/gaimosd x11-themes/gaim-smileys # This plugin has been integrated into net-im/pidgin net-im/gaim-meanwhile # These are now part of x11-plugins/purple_plugin-pack net-im/gaim-snpp x11-plugins/gaim-slashexec x11-plugins/ignorance # Renamed (replace gaim with pidgin in their name) x11-plugins/gaim-assistant x11-plugins/gaim-encryption x11-plugins/gaim-extprefs x11-plugins/gaim-hotkeys x11-plugins/gaim-libnotify x11-plugins/gaim-otr x11-plugins/gaim-rhythmbox
Oops, please also stabilize: x11-plugins/pidgin-latex-1.0 x11-plugins/pidgin-otr-3.0.0
BSD won't stable anything, they don't have a stable keyword.
sparc stable: =net-im/pidgin-2.1.0 =net-libs/libotr-3.0.0 =x11-plugins/pidgin-encryption-3.0 =x11-plugins/pidgin-extprefs-0.7 =x11-plugins/pidgin-otr-3.0.0 =x11-plugins/pidgin-rhythmbox-2.0 =x11-plugins/guifications-2.14 The rest aren't even ~sparc keyworded, i may look into the interesting ones at some point.
Stable for HPPA: =net-im/pidgin-2.1.0 =x11-plugins/guifications-2.14 =x11-plugins/pidgin-encryption-3.0 =x11-plugins/pidgin-extprefs-0.7 =x11-plugins/pidgin-hotkeys-0.2.3 =x11-plugins/pidgin-libnotify-0.13 =x11-plugins/purple-plugin_pack-1.0
x86 stable, all of them
All marked stable on amd64.
Added ~alpha/~ia64 to pidgin-2.1.1, leaving us in cc so we can stabilize in 30 days
stable on ppc: net-im/pidgin-2.1.0 x11-plugins/guifications-2.14 x11-plugins/pidgin-encryption-3.0 x11-plugins/pidgin-extprefs-0.7 x11-plugins/pidgin-libnotify-0.13 x11-plugins/pidgin-rhythmbox-2.0 x11-plugins/pidgin-latex-1.0 x11-plugins/pidgin-otr-3.0.0 ~ppc keyword added: x11-plugins/pidgin-hotkeys-0.2.3 x11-plugins/purple-plugin_pack-1.0 net-im/librvp-0.9.6 is not keyworded. We'll wait until a ppc user requests it. leaving us on cc for stabling the ~ppc packages in 30 days
mips: be aware that I plan on p.masking gaim around the Sept 30 once alpha/ia64/ppcs have made their stuff stable. alpha/ia64: If you want, you can go straight to 2.1.1 and skip 2.1.0, I plan on request it stable around that time anyway.
ppc64 is held back by bug #152606
(In reply to comment #10) > ppc64 is held back by bug #152606 Does any other version of pidgin work on ppc64, perhaps pidgin 2.1.x or 2.2.x ?
Unfortunately, no, no version of pidgin works on ppc64 at the moment. I'm still looking into this, it's "hanging" when creating the buddy list window, at the point where it creates the first status box. I don't quite see why though, but it spends a really long time in g_hash_table_lookup, see the backtrace in the bug linked here for the exact chain of events. I'd take this upstream for some help, but the gaim/pidgin developers have historically not been very friendly to Gentoo. Would that be worth my time, or should I continue working on it myself?
Does it work on ppc64 on other distributions ? If it does, lets find out what they do differently. If not, yea, talk to upstream, they'll probably be interested.
I am not aware of another distribution that is completely 64bit ppc64. For example, Fedora, RHEL, and SLES are all 64bit kernel, have biarch toolchains, but most of the userland is 32bit. In this case, the problem is with our 64bit kernel and fully and only 64bit userland. With the 64bit kernel and 32bit userland implementation of Gentoo, it works fine.
stable on ppc: x11-plugins/pidgin-hotkeys-0.2.3 x11-plugins/purple-plugin_pack-1.0
This would be 2.2.1 now because of bug #194278 ...
alpha/ia64/x86 stable
mips: I'm going to remove gaim from the tree in the near future (days, not weeks), if you plan on marking pidgin stable, now would be a good time. ppc64: The same applies to you, now is a good time to fix that glib/gcc bug on your platform..
this really can't be fixed before #152606 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 152606 ***
