The packages, available on this page are built NOT from maemo pidgin sources, residing in the maemo extras source repository. The maemo extras sources repository doesn't have the 2.5.4 (or any later) version of pidgin for maemo at all (neither for bora, nor for any other maemo version). The latest version, which can be found there is 2.5.1. Thus, I've decided to make an attempt to adapt the original 2.5.4 and 2.5.5 sources myself. To produce a maemo-adapted version of 2.5.4 pidgin sources, I used a semi-automatical procedure of cvs merging from 2.5.1 original pidgin sources, 2.5.4 original pidgin sources and 2.5.1 maemo-adapted sources. The difference between original 2.5.1 pidgin sources and 2.5.1 sources for maemo was used as a patch against 2.5.4 version of the original pidgin sources. The same procedure was used to adapt the 2.5.5 version of original pidgin sources to maemo. Due to a semi-automatical nature of this patch I cannot guarantee that packages, available here, will work correctly in any sense. If you are not sure that you are in a particular need for 2.5.4 or 2.5.5 version of pidgin for your maemo bora, you are advised to use 2.5.1 or 2.4.3 version of pidgin packages, which were built specifically (but see the "Alarm clock error" explanation there) from maemo pidgin sources, obtained from the maemo sources repository. Anyway, these 2.5.4 and 2.5.5 packages work quite good for me and you may also wish to make use of them. Moreover, the 2.5.5 version, found here, seems to be the only one maemo pidgin version, not refused by AOL servers when working with the ICQ protocol (the 2.5.4 version is rejected, and, I guess, the older ones too). |
