pidgin 2.1.0 ebuild
ebuild attached works fine here, might want to change the line: # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-im/pidgin/pidgin-2.0.2.ebuild,v 1.4 2007/07/20 21:48:53 tester Exp $ to indicate 2.1.0 instead of 2.0.2 The header should actually be cleared, but if its committed to portage it will be updated automatically There could be a problem with this ebuild a mono, I enabled the mono keyword but if you look in the about dialog in pidgin then it says that mono support has been diabled! I dont use any mono apps and its only on my system because some gnome thing use it! So I have no knowledge to look into that problem! Ebuild works fine here too. Changing the $Header$ isn't needed, CVS will do so automatically. Also, Mono support is disabled on my set-up as well. Don't know what the option is supposed to do though. (In reply to comment #5) > Also, Mono support is disabled on my set-up as well. Don't know what the option > is supposed to do though. That is, I use Mono on my system but Pidgin says it's disabled as well, even though the USE-flag is set. the mono option allows writing plugins using mono.. its disabled because it causes pidgin to crash too much. And since I don't know any useful plugin written with mono.. I have spend a few hours on IRC, and many people tell about broken features when upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0 ... I was coming here to also report the version bump, but, before introducing it to portage, you should test if it is really stable enough. Just migrated from gaim 2.0beta6, and pidgin 2.0.2 works fine for me (using it since 45mn ). I've been using it for a couple of days... no problems so far. However, I don't use any of the external plugins and almost none of the internal ones. The ebuild already advices the user to backup his ~/.gaim/ (which is ~/.purple/ now, BTW), so I think that if there are problems they will be found and fixed much faster if it gets into portage. After all, this is the meaning of the unstable tree.. I've been using gaim 2.00 beta 6, Pidgin 2.00, 2.01, 2,02 found nothing broken. Ive now been using 2.10 since release still finding nothing broken. The only plugin I use is the OTR one. http://bugs.gentoo.org/187573 which is awaiting version bump. I'm only using these flags. + + crypt : Add support for encryption -- using mcrypt or gpg where applicable + + dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc) + + gnutls : Adds support for net-libs/gnutls + + gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) + + ncurses : Adds ncurses support (console display library) + + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities) + + perl : Adds support/bindings for the Perl language. + + spell : Adds dictionary support + + startup-notification : Enable application startup event feedback mechanism + + xscreensaver : Adds support for XScreenSaver extension. It sounds like there's enough positive response to include this into portage as unstable testing. Is there a reason not to? ---Alex devs being busy is the reason.. I'll try to do it tonight, but no guarantees.. I've been using 2.1.0 since it was released and have had no problems with it. Please include this in the tree. I did not say migration is dangerous, but, warning you that some people had already found some bugs. All softwares are anyway release even when they have bugs ... what I have heard about is just about minor features anyway. this is in tree.. sorry for the delay... |
