Description of problem: Pidgin is still at version 2.4.1 on Fedora 8, which results no msnp14 protocol supported. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pidgin-2.4.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to console. 2. Input `rpm -q pidgin`. 3. Check package version. Actual results: pidgin-2.4.1 Expected results: pidgin-2.4.2 Additional info:
It's available in updates-testing, and will be in stable updates soon : https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-4298 Note that MSNP14 is not enabled in the Fedora build, and almost certainly will not be until we (upstream) determine it is ready enough to be enabled by default.
Thanks Stu, I just want a 2.4.2 and enable msnp14 by myself. 2.4.1 doesn't have the --enable-msnp14 switch available, so I requested this.

I'm not sure how you think Fedora's binary packages provide you with an easy way to enable msnp14, but 2.4.2's source has had --enable-msnp14 since May 17th when it was released. (in case it wasn't clear, this is an option to pass to ./configure when building from source).
Do you mean even if you upgrade it to 2.4.2, if it wasn't compiled with such option, it still doesn't have --enable-msnp14 option available? If so, then that's alright and I keep myself on emesene then. :)

That's correct, --enable-msnp14 is a compile-time option for early adopters willing to risk using known-buggy code to help it mature to the level where we can enable it for everyone.
