Description Mike McGrath 2007-04-08 01:10:44 EDT

Looks like there are legal issues with the name 'gaim' and they're renaming it.

Renaming will happen in Fedora only after there is an official upstream release
using the new name, which is not yet.

Comment 2 Răzvan Sandu 2007-05-11 02:08:55 EDT

Pidgin arrived at version 2.0.0.0 (stable) and has been oficially released.

A text version (console) is available under name Finch.


Please publish updated RPM packages for FC6 that will obsolete the old Gaim.
