Please keep comments and feedback about this package in this thread.

Pidgin works great, but in the SOHO build, the package is called Pidgin-2.0-i586-2vl5.8. That is different from this one, so it will be upgraded by using upgrade all. And I think the 2 stands for a more recent build package so it wouldn't need an upgrade.

*Just a note..

[stoichyu]

Hm... I never made a 2nd one, so that's probably newer. Is the newer one in the repo as well?

[Freeman]

Nope.. The newer one comes standard on the SOHO build. JohnB allready mentioned the naming thing, it has to be exact as the source name.
