November 08, 2010 — BarryK

Thanks to ttuuxxx who compiled Pidgin for Wary, announced in the forum, Wary 094 feedback thread:

I have massaged the PET packages just a teensy bit to suit my standardization guidelines, and uploaded them to the 'puppy-wary5' repository at ibiblio.org. These will be available in the Puppy Package Manager in the next release of Wary.

A dependency of Pidgin is Gtkspell. I split ttuuxxx's package into three. Pidgin is available as two packages, the main one and a locales package. Here are the pet.specs database entries:

pidgin is a pain to compile. I prefer ayttm, smaller, faster.
