Building Pidgin should be pretty straightforward, this works for me (dependencies already installed, clean folder):
Code:
apt-get source pidgin
cd pidgin-2.10.9
dpkg-buildpackage -b
I have uploaded Pidgin 2.10.9-0maemo2. It's been built successfully and is ready for download.
  • Changed source format to 3.0 (quilt) -- thanks to that packaging new versions from upstream and managing patches should be a bliss.
  • Added patch to fix Yahoo login with GnuTLS -- as requested by figaro.
Thanks, gidzzz No offence to gianko, but I'm happy that someone with packaging skills finally took care of this Installing in a moment, will report back if I find any issues (if you won't find any more posts by me in next few hours it means everything is fine).
