Created attachment 315089 [details] pidgin-2.10.4-r1-mxit.patch The current ebuild for pidgin 2.10.4 and earlier has no support for the MXit IM protocol. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pidgin 2. add new account Actual Results: You don't see the option to add a MXit IM account. Expected Results: The option to add a MXit IM account. Adding "mxit" to DYNAMIC_PRPLS sets things right, but adding a "mxit" USE flag would give the user more choice.
net-im/pidgin-2.10.5 is released and mxit protocol is still not compiled in, neither as default DYNAMIC_PRPLS nor as a USE option. Is anyone looking at this yet?
