Description Debarshi Ray 2016-08-23 12:27:23 EDT

While we are shipping pidgin 2.10.7 in RHEL 7.3, there have been a few upstream releases with bug-fixes and features that could be interesting for us. There are also a few security fixes that we can pick up. See:
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/www/src/tip/htdocs/ChangeLog
http://pidgin.im/news/security/

I'd suggest that we rebase it to at least 2.10.11, since it doesn't have an API changes from 2.10.7. If possible (ie. telepathy-purple, pidgin-sipe continue to work) we should go all the way to 2.11.0.

Just and idea, can we do it in 7.3?

Sure. If you are willing to test it, I am willing to rebase it. :)

Comment 4 Debarshi Ray 2016-12-01 08:53:48 EST

Sad. I already did the work to rebase it in August, and was hoping it could make it to RHEL 7.4.

Comment 6 Debarshi Ray 2017-01-09 08:17:14 EST

I have built pidgin-2.10.11-1.el7:
